What PHP version are you using?

[Israel Ekpo]

Hi Guys,

I just want to conduct a quick survey to find out what version of PHP people
are using in their production environments.

I have a PHP extension for Solr that I have set the minimum required version
as 5.2.11.

http://pecl.php.net/package/solr/

However, most of the PHP users that want to use it are unable to do so
because the PHP version in the PROD environments is below 5.2.11

They are also nervous about upgrading to newer versions as it will require
some regression testing.

In my production environment I am using 5.3.0 and most of the people that I
have contacted seems to be running 5.2.10

When I released the extension, I did all my regression tests against PHP
5.2.11 and now I am considering doing regression tests against 5.2.4
(released 30 August 2007)  and newer versions so that I can set the minimum
required version to 5.2.4 in order to accommodate more people.

I cannot go below 5.2.0 though but I am thinking about starting at 5.2.4 and
newer.

I would really appreciate some feedback as it will be useful in helping me
determine which PHP version numbers to do my regression tests against.

Thanks.

5.2.0 to 5.2.11 depending on server.

I'm not yet ready to move to 5.3.0 due to lack of stable support from
the accelerators thus far (at least for the ones I frequent).

Cheers,
Rob.

My version depends upon the client. I have one client who is still in
version 4.3.1.0.

Like Israel it depends on the client I am doing several projects for a
client now that the hosting company is still using 4.0.6 - and its been a
headache.  Most of the personal projects and many of my other clients are on
5.1 or higher.

The internal Zend Engine version my extension was written for is 2.2.0 or
newer.

That is why I would not be able to go below 5.2.0, unfortunately.

But so far, I appreciate your responses.

Please keep it coming.

I stand corrected... I also maintain a CentOS 5 system. I much prefer
apt over yum though and so when the choice is mine I go with Debian.
Debian 4 has PHP 5.2.0.

Cheers,
Rob.

I used to write software for 4.1 and above but I am now dropping PHP 4
and will only write for PHP 5 and above. I would still write for PHP4 if
someone would request a custom job but everything else will be 5.

My dev machine is running PHP 5.3 with Suhosin-Patch (ARCH Linux) and my
main server is currently running PHP 5.1 (CentOS 5)

O.K. so 5.2.15 doesn't exist :-(  That is the Zend debugger version I
have.  I actually have Home/Dev: 5.2.4.

A few days late to answer perhaps, but in case you still want another
reply: I use 5.2.6, the version that comes with Debian "Lenny". I do not
usually install anything from outside the official Debian archives, makes
my life much easier this way.

That would make sense for us Debian users at least, as explained above.
Other distros I'm not sure about.

Thanks.

I am still looking for responses. So you are not late.

I just finishing testing against 5.2.10 down to 5.2.4. I am not sure how
many people are still using versions between 5.2.0 and 5.2.3

I would like to know those ones too

Hi!

I develop for 4.3.10 and 5.2.6 at work.
At home I use 5.2.9, it was installed by xubuntu

Our hosting providers have 5.2.0 or 5.2.4

Well anybody running CentOS 5 or RedHat Linux Enterprise 5 using the
official repo will be using PHP 5.1.x so you might want to thing twice
about going any higher then that.

I just checked the Red Hat 5.4 manifest and it shows php-5.1.6-23.el5 -
php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3. CentOS simply repackages the Red Hat kit without
the proprietary bits. I don't understand why they are so far behind on a
build that was just released last month, but our hosting service only
provides what's in the official release.

I just check the CentOS repo and the repo lists
php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3.x86_64.rpm as latest.
So CentOS is as upto date as RedHat, the way it should be.
