| Which PHP 5.X version should be considered as Required |
(04-07-2015, 06:21 AM)sv3tli0 Wrote: So perhaps targeting its last version 5.6.x as requirement is not a bad idea. 5.6? Are you insane?  We need to keep in mind that not all hosting companies provide the latest and greatest as soon as it's available. Not only hosting companies but businesses in general. Where I work, they installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 on our web servers. The specific version we use comes with PHP 5.3 and even worse, it's a an old outdated 5.3 package. It's very hard to make them install anything that doesn't come from Red Hat and they won't upgrade the whole OS on all servers only for PHP. I'm sure a lot of people are in the same position. So, yes it sucks to support obsolete versions. But we must at least try to support old PHP versions. If it's not possible, fine. People stuck with outdated PHP versions can still use an old version of CodeIgniter. I guess it's reasonable to support the oldest officially supported version, which is 5.4 at the moment.
