Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Re: [phpwiki-checkins] CVS: phpwiki INSTALL,1.15,1.16

[Jeff D. <da...@da...>]

My point is, that we need to decide what versions of PHP we are going
to support (I thought we already had).  Then, if PhpWiki uses functions
which aren't available in a "supported" version of PHP (without providing
appropriate fallbacks or replacements), it is, by definition, a bug
in PhpWiki.

Of course, it's allowable to change the list of supported PHP versions,
(e.g. PhpWiki 1.2 runs under PHP 3, PhpWiki 1.3 doesn't) but that
shouldn't be done without a fair amount of deliberation.
