Or "I only run XYZ because PHP is run by the government to track your scripting"

[bDok]

5.3.10 on main boxes
edit: dev box is 5.3.10 as well.

I'm impressed everyone is using the last versions of PHP...

How can everyone be SO UP TO DATE?..

You never miss a thing?

STRANGE... Very strange that everyone is so UP TO DATE and STRICT about some things.. I dont know..

Updating PHP is not like WordPress that you get the legend all the time..

[shake]

5.3.6

[brassmonkey]

If you use cent os/debian all you need to type yum update or apt-get update and it's automatically installed.You can even set cron which will automatically trigger updates.

[Confined]

I only run dedicated servers, custom websites and custom themes so I have to log in to each server myself to recompile php.

Always latest and greatest PHP version when I check the php site. It's a pain but it's worth it in the end.

I manage my own servers and I keep it up to date. It's not that hard.

The 5.4.x branch is also on 5.4.6 already. 5.4.0 was released in March, do you only upgrade your box once per year?

[ErectMedia]

Boring 5.3.3 on VPS and Dedi - I had issues when I upgraded to 5.4 on one machine as well so I decided against it for the time being.

5.4.* at home though - It gives me a chance to find out what is really going on as I will have to upgrade eventually.

Do you have code that looks like this?

some_function($x, &$y);

function some_function($x, $y) {
   ... do stuff ...
}

When calling functions, is there a '&' mark in front of the variables you're passing? If so, that's why. It was depreciated as of PHP v5.3, and removed as of PHP v5.4.

PHP 5.4

[AndrewX]

Everyone should really be running PHP 5.4. In a lot of benchmarks it is almost twice as fast as 5.3, it's just starting to get features it should have had. Zend framework runs a LOT faster. You can find countless benchmarks online, Wordpress runs about 10% faster and less memory footprint, etc.

And I'm not even talking about the numerous security issues that have been fixed in 5.4. People complaining that their scripts don't work really should read up on the errors and upgrade their scripts to the latest versions. Like mentioned before, there is a reason a lot of scripts don't work. Many hosts still run 5.3 though and that's a shame, and still running 5.2 is just laziness in my opinion. You'll be sorry when someone exploits your server or wipes out your website.

just upgraded to 5.4

[DWB]

5.3.x and what a cluster fuck that caused when we upgraded to it.

Worth the upgrade to 5.4?

About 20% faster and less memory usage: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ph...you-must-know/ - 5.4 even has a web server built in.
