| Which PHP 5.X version should be considered as Required |
Let me point out a difference in my development platforms. As a developer, I write for my clients system, while recommending what I think works best for them. At the same time, my Personal system uses the newest available (in this instance; php 5.5.x - 5.6). So I want a framework which offers versions supporting all of these platforms. Yes, some of my code is still running on php 5.2.x and I still make income from supporting it. If I provide value, then my clients will offer me the job of upgrading when THEY upgrade their system. Business 101.
How many of you are not at least testing the latest and greatest? I'll be testing php 7 when it reaches beta release, but I won't expect CI to match that release. Waiting for the debug process to fix the rough spots is, again, good business sense. My clients will be, at least, a full year behind the php release schedule. I'll be ready when they are. Php 5.6 is ready for use now and I want a CI version which supports it.
CI 3.1 Kubuntu 19.04 Apache 5.x Mysql 5.x PHP 5.x PHP 7.x
