Hi there,

Just a very quick question.

I'm about to start dev'ing an Intranet in 3.6, but notice:

<i>2. Insufficient PHP version

Your PHP version, which is 4.3.3, does not meet the minimum requirements of 4.3.4.

A newer version of PHP can be download at php.net. You must upgrade to at least version 4.3.4, but the latest released PHP 4.3.x version is highly recommended. </i>

Can anyone tell if we're OK to at least develop a site on this older version - we do intend to port the site over to a different box for production.

Thanks, Steve.

Hi,

From a discussion on the developer forum:
http://ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/php_4_4_x_is_this_now_a_requirement_for_3_6_1

PHP 4.4 seems to be what you shuld use as base.

Birger,

The PHP 4.4 thing is only applicable for the unreleased 3.6.1, 3.5.4 and 3.4.8 versions. For now, they only live in the different svn branches.

If Steve's going to develop on 3.6.0, he use the 4.3 release of PHP. But I do recommend following the minimum requirements because the 4.3.3 release might not have all functions used by eZ publish (I think file_get_contents() is such a function).

Hi Hans,

Yes , but given the argumentation in the discussion from Fredrik:
--------
We have done a few changes to be more compatible with PHP 4.4. There will be a RC release of 3.6.1 together with PHP 4.4 RC2 (late this week or early next week). Then the final release will follow soon after unless any big problems are found.
--------

I would for my own part plan to use the 3.6.1 release if I was setting up a completely new site.

Hi,

Thanks for the responses on this.

FYI, I have installed on the old PHP version - and it hasnt given me any issues so far...

ISP is going to upgrade in the next few weeks so I'm hoping it doesnt stall our dev plan, but so far so good.

Regards, Steve.

Hi guys,

Our plans are going to change somewhat since we have discovered that is difficult to support both PHP 4.3 and 4.4 with the same release. We're currently working out a sollution. eZ publish 3.6 should be safe to use regardless of PHP version (above 4.3.4 and under 5.x).
