Topic: PHP Version 4.3.11

I'm having trouble installing PunBB 1.3.2

I dropped the installation files on my ftp on GoDaddy. When I opened the install.php file I received the following message:

You are running PHP version 4.3.11. PunBB requires at least PHP 4.3.0 to run properly. You must upgrade your PHP installation before you can continue.

That doesn't make sense. 4.3.11 would almost certainly sound like a later version than 4.3. "4.311" is certainly a bigger number than "4.3".

5.28 is current release
if you're running 4.x you should upgrade anyway... that will sort out your problem.

Yes, I know GoDaddy is lame, but it's what my boss decided to use so that's what I'm working with right now.

Re: PHP Version 4.3.11

This won't guarantee a working installation, but you could try removing the following lines from 'admin/install.php':

if (!function_exists('version_compare') || version_compare(PHP_VERSION, MIN_PHP_VERSION, '<'))
    exit('You are running PHP version '.PHP_VERSION.'. PunBB requires at least PHP '.MIN_PHP_VERSION.' to run properly. You must upgrade your PHP installation before you can continue.');
