I don’t use GoDaddy, so this may not be entirely accurate.

I’m guessing that it’s these two lines in .htaccess:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
AddHandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .php .htm .html
They’re changing the handler from PHP files from the default ones to x-httpd-php5-cgi, which would cause PHP 5.2 to be used instead. Try commenting out these two lines.
