Description of my issue:
Greetings. Have updated my site to Joomla 3.8.5 I ran the Admin Tools PHP File scanner and all was well. Then I updated Admin Tools to 5.0.0 and tried to rescan but this error opened up in code view and no scan was done. Have tried on 2 sites:
<strong>AJAX Loading Error</strong><br/>HTTP Status: 500 (Internal Server Error)<br/>Internal status: error<br/>XHR ReadyState: 4<br/>Raw server response:<br/><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<div class="error-container">
<p>If you are the webmaster of this site please log in to Cpanel
and check the Error Logs. You will find the exact reason for this error
there.</p>
<p>Common reasons for this error are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Incorrect file/directory permissions: Above 755.
<p>In order files to be processed by the webserver, their
permissions have to be equal or below 755. You can update file
permissions with a FTP client or through cPanel's File Manager.</p>
</li>
<li>Incorrect Apache directives inside .htaccess file.
<p>Make sure you have not specified unsupported directives inside the
local .htaccess file. Such include PHP settings and Apache module
settings. </p>

Akeeba Staff
Hello,

thank you very much for your report.
After some tests, we found that old versions of PHP have a bug in the Regular Expression engine, causing PHP to crash.
We removed such scanning rules and we're going to release a new version next week, in the meantime you can download and install the latest dev release
