ExpressionEngine to Require PHP 5
Greg Aker posted on the ExpressionEngine blog that the next ExpressionEngine release “will mark the end of PHP 4 support in ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter”.
I know many add-on developers have stopped supporting PHP 4, and I wasn’t alone in being surprised that EE2 supported it at all. Now mere months after EE2 has been out of beta, they are dropping PHP 4 support.
Do you see this affecting you? I know it won’t change anything in my world. I imagine we’ll see some indirect benefits as the EllisLab developers won’t have to spend as much time on backward compatibility.
Read the rest of Greg’s post as he outlines a few things you might want to be aware of, and if you’re worried at all that your server might not support the next release, check out the server wizard, which he links to from his post.
