[Phpwebsite-developers] Version Check FYI

[Steven L. <st...@tu...>]

I just wanted to let all third party module developers know that the
next core version of phpwebsite will be going up to 0.10.0   What this
means is that the old way of checking versions will no longer work and
you encouraged to start using version_compare()

Old core version check:

if ($GLOBALS['core']->version < "0.9.3-2") {
    echo "You must upgrade to version 0.9.3-2 or greater to install this
module.";
}

This should be updated to:

if (version_compare($GLOBALS['core']->version, "0.9.3-2") < 0) {
    echo "You must upgrade to version 0.9.3-2 or greater to install this
module.";
}

You should also start using version_compare() in your update.php files
if you are going to follow the X.X.X version scheme.

Thanks to rhalff and rizzo for their help with this issue.
