Please reconsider PHP 5.2 requirement for 2.5

Post by kai »

Going to PHP5, ok, sooner or later this had to happen. Fine. However, requiring 5.2 is somewhat strange in my eyes. Did you look around what the major Enterprise distributions provide? For instance, RHEL5/CentOS5 - probably the most widely distributed platform among webhosters - is *not* on 5.2. It provides 5.1.6 (which works very well, btw) and this will not change until RHEL6. You cannot just look at your Debian distribution and whether there is 5.2.x available in unstable or whatever. The majority of webhosters is *not* on 5.2 and won't be for a while for good reasons! So, please reconsider if 5.2 is really necessary from the code point of view!

Hi,

the only supported PHP versions by the PHP group are

- PHP 5.2.x
- PHP 5.3-alpha
- PHP 6.0-dev

The only stable, supported version of PHP is version 5.2. We'll support phpMyFAQ 2.0 as long as possible.

bye
