| Which PHP 5.X version should be considered as Required |
|
I am trying to stay up to date always even sometimes I got problems with that
 PHP 7 is to be released this year so all PHP development should think of leaving the good php5 in next 2 years. As Muzikant mention its support will end there.. Regarding this I think that CI 4 will be the last Major CI version (except if there is CI 4.x) which is based on PHP 5 generation. So perhaps targeting its last version 5.6.x as requirement is not a bad idea. This way all things in PHP 5 will be included and after it CI can target PHP 7 as future support version. At the moment most hosting services are providing 5.3/5.4 and 5.5 (5.6 is yet not used in many places). In 1 year which I think is minimum time for building new version of the framework 5.6 will be available at more providers. Specially as PHP 5.5 support ends at June 2016 and its good to force people to use supported PHP versions.. Best VPS Hosting : Digital Ocean
