Required php versioon

Post by virgo »

In announcement it was said, that CMSMS 2.0 Beta requires php 5.4. But in reality it requires php 5.4.11. Any particular reason for requiring specific minor version? Debian Wheezy has version 5.4.4.

README.TXT wrote:(...)
Requirements:
-------------------
1. The installation assitant requires a PHP environment with a minimum version of PHP 5.4.0.
2. For new installations of CMS Made Simple you should create a new mysql database and database user. The database user
must have ALL PRIVILEGES to all tables within the new database.
3. CMS Made Simple itself requires at least PHP 5.4.11 with numerous libraries enabled (the install assistant will
check for these) including json, tokenizer, xml, and gd.
(...)
I looked at the announcement and didn't see anything stating that CMSMS 2.0 would require PHP 5.4...

As to the why, I'll leave that to someone with more knowledge than me. :)

In the part about installation there was:
"If your web environment supports a fairly standard version of PHP 5.4 (subject to change) then you should have few problems running the installer." And since it is only place mentioning it I just assumed that it applies to entire CMSMS 2.0.

It's quite simple. php 5.4.11 fixed some serious bugs that would have a direct effect on CMSMS.

- Errors in UDT's would cause 500 errors rather than generating a return code and a printable error.
- Fixes related to json_decode

If it is https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43177 then that bug seems to be fixed in Debians php.

But https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63737 is still there - so there is that. But at least it is good to know the reason.
