It seems like the core team is using the filter extension that is part of PHP 5.2 and higher(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ filter.installation.php). You can see it in one of the posts Fabian Lange posted on the blog (http://www.symfony-project.org/blog/ 2008/07/01/symfony-1-2-roadmap). Also there are some changesets that refer to this topic. you can easily find them via trac (http:// trac.symfony-project.org/search?q=PHP+5.2&noquickjump=1&changeset=on). So i come to the conclusion that the changes the core team have made are so big that you will cause serious problems if you use symfony 1.2 with a php version prior to 5.2.
