You did not read the complete response...
You CAN use ZF 1.7+ with PHP 5.1.4... most components will run without
problems. Also Zend_Date works with 5.1.4. But if you are using new features
like Zend_Locale's "application wide locale", which was added with 1.7.0,
you will notice problems as it was coded for 5.2.4 and not for 5.1.4.
So when you expect a problem which is related to a php behaviour (5.1.4
versus 5.2.4) this bug will normally not be fixed as the minimum
requirements for ZF 1.7+ are 5.2.4.
There was a reason why the minimum requirements were raised, and we waited
more then one year until we decided to do so.
Btw: With 1.7.4 I changed the I18N core to work with 5.1.4 again even if
this reduces performance.
If you would have tried it out you would have seen this. ;-)

Subject: [fw-general] ZF 1.6.2 not being maintained/supported for php 5.1.4+
users??
I reported a bug in 1.6.2 in jira:
http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-5429
In response, some time later I received two messages. The first says:
"I just testing [sic] this code on my centos 4.5 server running php 5.1.6
and it worked just fine. I'm using the 1.7.2 code base. Is there any
reason
you are still using 1.6.2?"
If I had had a chance to answer that question I would have said the reason
I
reverted to 1.6.2 for my project is that the server it will be running on
has stock centos 5 with php 5.1.6, the ZF developers have been very clear
that ZF 1.7.0+ requires php 5.2.4., and I have discovered that in ZF 1.7+
such components as Zend_Date in ZF 1.7+ do not work properly.
(see http://www.nabble.com/PHP-version-requirement-td20904056.html where
Thomas Weidner says "when using < 5.2.4 stay with 1.6")
I did not get a chance to provide that answer, however, before receiving a
second message 10 minutes later that said:
"This wont be fixed since it's not an issue in the current 1.7.x release."
Question: Does this mean that those who are stuck with stock centos 5
servers have been abandoned altogether?
