I have no machines with PHP 5.2 anymore. :-) IMO making PHP 5.3 as minimum required version is a good idea for the first release of Chamilo 2.0.

It works just fine in both versions. We already eliminated anything (or at least almost) that is considered deprecated in 5.3. That however doesn't change the fact that PHP 5.3 included some additional, much needed, functionality which will never work (directly) on 5.2 installations. One of the things that personally frustrates me the most in PHP 5.2 is the inability to do something as simple as make a static call like $class :: $method. It's easy enough to work round the issue, but it feels so darned 2004. (and there's plenty more in 5.3 which would be useful) At any rate I'd be glad to hear from Ivan and any kind of insights he may have into the matter.

I can ask on the general mailing-list if you didn't do so just yet. I know Ubuntu did it, Debian supports it, most XAMPP/WAMPP/EasyPHP versions put it by default, etc. In other words: it is generally widespread amongst *testers* of the application. Ivan Tcholakov did some work on supporting both 5.2 and 5.3 versions in Chamilo 1.8. Maybe he can report a short number of tweaks that help.

Making PHP 5.3 a minimum requirement for Chamilo 2.0 seems a bit early, but it's hard to take a decision without any kind of numbers to guide us. Since the subject keeps coming up every now and then I figured I'd ask around. Inclusion of PHP 5.3 in Ubuntu's most recent LTS server release won't hurt adoption, but I'm not familiar enough with other distros so I don't know what they offer out of the box. (or a majority of shared hostings for that matter) Thanks in advance, Hans _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@lists.chamilo.org http://lists.chamilo.org/listinfo/dev _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@lists.chamilo.org http://lists.chamilo.org/listinfo/dev ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@lists.chamilo.org http://lists.chamilo.org/listinfo/dev
