Topic: Would a PHP 4.3.0 requirement be a problem?

If PunBB 1.3 were to require PHP 4.3.0 or later, would that be a problem for you?

Re: Would a PHP 4.3.0 requirement be a problem?

My Debian server is at 4.3.10, my host is at 4.4.0.

I don't think that would pose a problem, except for hosts that aren't very security minded.

No problem, I use PHP  in 4.4.0 ....:D
and I saw most webhosting use 4.3.x , so I think it would be ok.

Well, if I know that PunBB is running on 4.3.0 or later, I can remove some code here and there and make things a bit simpler. Password hashing can rely completely on sha1(), no need to reimplement get_file_contents() or var_export() etc.

It will not satisfy everybody but the vast majority will profit from that I think.
And those still stuck with php < 4.3. will have a good reason for a serious talk with their host smile

Yeah, as long as all the scripts support <4.3.0 the hosts won't upgrade. Only those who are security minded, which are not that many XD
