Hello,

PHP 5.2.6 and earlier have a bugs that prevents us from appending text 
to php://stdout . See [PHP 45303].

We need to open php:// file descriptors in append mode (a) when running 
the web installer or we have a nice error caused by the output buffer 
being reset [BUG 31822] fixed by [r101644].

By bumping our PHP version requirement to 5.2.7 we no more have that 
buffer reset issue. Maintenance scripts will throw a warning though [BUG 
32325] [BUG 32263].

Debian stable provides PHP 5.3.3.
I am pretty sure Mac OS X 10.6 provide a PHP version after 5.2.6.

1.17 bumped requirement to PHP 5.2.3
Can we bump it again for 1.18 ?
