Poll: Which PHP version do you use?

raphael · 06-23-2007 02:11 AM

Now that you can choose between PHP4 and PHP5 at install time, which version do you use?

With the poll results I will see if it worths to create the php4 versions of the extensions I'm already maintaining for Debian
NOTE: php5-adodb, php5-ffmpeg and kgb are already going to enter the official Debian repositories soon (see).

To be honest, I think we should only concentrate on php5 and leave php4 for the experienced users who can debug and try to resolve themself. The web is advancing at a rapid pace and PHP6 will be released soon. I think we should work to get php5 support perfected and ensure the panel works smooth with it, till php6 is out.

AFAIK, this is how Ubuntu, Drupal and other popular open-source software projects are constructed.

The panel itself works fine PHP5. Version 1.1.0 will probably drop support for PHP4 (at least for the gui)

Personally I don't consider Ubuntu a good distribution. It is only a mix of these and those packages; and sometimes they are bogus or simply the original packages (at Debian) aren't available in testing because they have RC bugs and other stuff.
I like Ubuntu's project idea: release soon and give the user what they want. But I don't like the way they do it.

Ubuntu is the only distro that installs on my VPC. Debian installed ok, but I had weird problems with the internet connection. It keeps timing out after 10 secs. Very weird!

Ever asked at irc.debian.org/#debian ? Wink

i would prefer php5 as a default Tongue

. Althought php4 is needed by some old scripts, the most out there should work correctly with php5. And thats the way it goes. php6 is on the way, so way dont get rid of php4 even for the backend. Tongue

php6: you should wait at least half a year when it is released, you will see all the bugs that comes together with Wink

Just bumping....

prefer PHP5 to be default and better provide a "how-to" to change from php4-cgi to php5-cgi
