Haunted Dawg Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Well, a carry over from [mccode v2.x] House Images + Updated Estate Agent to see who has actualy got the new php version. If you need instructions to get your php version: Step 1 - Login to CPanel Step 2 - Scroll down to bottom and look for: PHP version 5.2.16 Step 3 - Vote on poll. I am not trying to argue, nor tend for anyone to think im trying to cause an arguement, so if you think im trying to argue, please leave.. oh wait no.. JUST GO! Quote
Haunted Dawg Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 Maybe should of put this thread to people who do not own there own server's or on a friend's server perhap's? Talking about shared hosting. Quote
Djkanna Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 That is on shared hosting That is on Wamp(I knew I saw it somewhere), on my VPS I don't even have PHP so I couldn't exactly check there. ;) Shared hosting is 5.3.3 Quote
rulerofzu Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 5.3.4 is the highest stable release you can upgrade through easy apache WHM/CPanel. 5.3.5 has still to pass the audit to be placed onto the easy apache upgrade. Quote

Yup I'm a fool, I take my vote back it's 5.3.3 maybe next time I'll check instead of looking at phpinfo file in my project on wamp (don't ask). However I'm still unsure on the point your trying to make HD. Quote
Equinox Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 So, the poll is going in my favour? I like this. I'm sure Stud will aswell. I keep my version up to date, so I voted accordingly. Quote
rulerofzu Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I believe its vital to keep on top of updates and latest versions. Bug fixes and improvements speak for themselves. Whilst I can update PHP off my own back as I run my own servers I prefer to wait for Cpanel to introduce it into easy apache as I then know it has been tested. Same applies for MySQL. You just need to be careful and read the update documents before proceeding! Quote
a_bertrand Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 5.1.6 Why? Because it's the standard Cent-OS 5.5 version and I will not upgrade PHP by myself as I want to keep the support of Cent OS Quote
rulerofzu Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Cent OS 5.5 was released in May 2010 why they went with a PHP version which was released August 2006 is quite suprising esp as 5.1.6 pulls up security advisories. Quote
a_bertrand Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Cent OS is a server distribution (it is actually red hat enterprise) and therefore don't use latest version but instead use trusted version. Security fixes are applied by red hat even if PHP doesn't. A server distribution do have between 5 and 10 years of life time and this is EXTREMELY useful as you don't want to upgrade your servers every 6 months with the risk to have compatibility issues. Also, there isn't so much more features in the new versions of PHP, sure a couple are quiet useful, but overall you can survive with older trusty versions. BTW Cent OS 5.5 is the latest version.

rulerofzu Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Yeah I looked much further into it after posting. I run cent os 5.4 I appreciate that they take their time and dont rush out new releases. Quote
Spudinski Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I normally run my sever(s) with a control panel, and alike they have automatic updates. I don't like upgrading my local setup, it's useless like many have said. I think my /dev version is still a mix of 5.2.x. My live is on 5.3.5 as per usual. Quote
