Solspace Says Goodbye To PHP 4 & 3

Solspace has said goodbye to PHP 3 & 4. This can only be seen as a good move as PHP 4 is the equivalent of an ancient sumerian language on the web. PHP 5 has been out for 5 years! Here’s more:

Over the previous six months, Solspace has released new versions of its popular Add-Ons with many of these new versions requiring a minimum of PHP 4.3.2 and MySQL 4.1.  This is because there are new features and abilities available in the more recent versions of PHP and MySQL that Solspace wishes to take advantage of.

The transition to PHP 5 has a similar justification, but it is also taking into account the fact that official support of PHP 4 has been over for quite a while now and nearly all of our long term clients and partners have finally made the switch to PHP 5 on their servers.  We feel we can finally start updating our code without negatively impacting our clients and users.

Congratulations to Solspace on this awesome transition. Also, if you have been using their extensions, check out their complete listing of extension hooks. Very cool, lads.
