Joss Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 An old, old client of mine (we produced some dramas together in the early 80s) wants to upgrade his website to something a little more "dynamic." He has asked for some help, and to get the ball rolling, he sent me over the specs for the server space he is using. Apparently it is running php 4 or 5.1 - you can choose either! I asked him to send a support ticket to see if they would upgrade to php 5.3 at least. The reply has come back "Newer versions of PHP are still unstable at best, and until they are better tested, we will be staying with the more reliable 5.1" I moved my old friends website in about 30 seconds flat first thing this morning.

DaveP Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Well, yeah, 5.1 was only released 24 Nov 2005, so it's hardly out of beta. (http://php.net/releases/index.php) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Well, yeah, 5.1 was only released 24 Nov 2005, so it's hardly out of beta. (http://php.net/releases/index.php) Not to mention they still support php4. I wonder if they do php3 as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
