Another problem is that OS may not have the newest available PHP to install, so unless they compile from source or use back port repos, upgrades would be difficult, especially since not everyone has root access on the server (unless they self-host like myself and others here). To upgrade my laptop's, I have to use macports, which did not have 5.4 (should probably check again, so I don't need to upgrade the server OS, as I need to start Apache via cron in Lion), when I last checked. I tried making a squeeze remaster, but it only works in a VM, and sadly did not check PHP version included. On May 18, 2012 7:58 AM, "Christopher Davis" <[email protected]> wrote:
