My web host has advised us they've upgraded to PHP 5.3.4. Should I enable this on my PVG domain? If yes, is there anything I should do beyond enabling it at my host's end? (Yes, I know, do backup)
Currently on PHP 5.2 I think.

I would be surprised if you have to do anything. Your PHP.INI should have a TIMEZONE setting, but you may already have this from 5.2+ Use the ADMIN function - PHPINFO to review your current settings. -Stephen

All I need to do is enable it on the domain. The timezone for my PHP.INI is set to Los Angeles where the server is and I'm okay with that. The blurb mentions:
"Suhosin will protect against both known and unknown security issues in your PHP code. This is a particularly good idea if you're running pre-written PHP scripts that you've downloaded from a third party.
Our build of PHP 5.3 includes several other new extensions you've been asking for, including bz2, soap, xmlrpc, and zip. These added extensions should keep all your extension-hungry web apps satisfied… for now!"
So, as PGV uses PHP, figured it would be a good idea. Will enable in the morning.

Hi, I updated PHP to 5.3.x but PGV doesn't display the correct version in PHP information (Admin). Was told that's at PGV's end by my web host as they verified update worked.

Caching? Did you clear cache and reboot your browser? PGV has no internal function other than to read your phpinfo file.
Perhaps create one and test yourself, but likely it is caching. -Stephen

Reboot of Mac was done. Browser is new w/o cache (trying out Chrome). Safari doesn't show update either. Will wait and see if it updates itself. "Create one"??

You've been around long enough to know how to find an answer to your last question, if not a simply google search for 'create a phpinfo file'
Create a new text file and name it (anything you wish) = phpinfo.php or test.php or macalter.php
Put the following code in the file and save:
<? phpinfo(); ?>
Put the file in one of your accessible webspace areas, maybe at root. Remove it or protect with obscurity naming after you use it. -Stephen

Stephen, I was lied to :) Was live with the tech rep at my web host and she told me update was done. Had no reason not to believe her.
Am now waiting for it to be done escalate via live support.d. Done. Test php file shows PHP5.3.4; PGV shows PHP5.3.4
