Aiiiiiiigggghhhh PHP Version!!!!

[kms]

I tried installing this CMS (cmsmadesimple-1.8.2-base.tar.gz) and my version of PHP is too old. So I have my host upgrade my server to Centos v5.5 and upgrade PHP  and I still get the message:

'CMS Made Simple requires a php version of 5.2.4 or greater (you have 5.1.6), but PHP 5.2.12 or greater is recommended to ensure maximum compatibility with third party addons'

So then I say what the #@#!##%$# and do:
php -v
PHP 5.2.10 (cli) (built: Nov 13 2009 11:24:03)

I have PHP 5.2.10, not 5.1.6, but I guess that is still too old so I do:
yum update php
and I get
No Packages marked for Update

and then I say what the ###%#@#$@ again and think to myself can I just not use this CMS which I really want to try because this is a pain in the butt and it still doesn't install after days of backing things up and upgrading the server.

?

You could use 1.6.8 which supports PHP4.

Thanks uniqu3,

It's a thought, but I am reluctant to use something which is not the latest and greatest  as far as this CMS, I don't want 2 be left behind and forgotten about!!!!

1.6.8 was released at the same time as 1.8.2 and as alternative for users that can't upgrade their php version.

However we do not support the 1.6.x series.
and only fix critical security issues.

If CMSMS is detecting PHP 5.1.x and you say you have PHP 5.2.10 installed then it is a server configuration issue that you will need to resolve.

create a simple file called test.php with


I bet it will say PHP 5.1.x

Drat you are right. 5.1.6, but 'php -v' gives me 5.2.10. This is weird, I'll see what I can figure out about this thanks!!!
