[Answered] Php Version

[Ryan Zimmerman]

Just wondering, why are both stevie and johnny using old versions of php? Stevie uses v. 5.3.8 and Johnny uses v. 5.4.41. The current version is 5.6.15 if I'm correct.

Because of function deprecation in 5.5+. A bunch of stuff like the (rather heavily used) mysql() functions were removed. Since a large amount of software relies on the removed functions, and a large portion of our users (including myself) run such software, we have no plans to upgrade beyond 5.4 since doing so will break a lot of things.

 

Stevie will likely get 5.4 at some point though. I can't wait for 5.3.8 to go away.
