minimum PHP version

Closed this issue 5 years ago · 2 comments

Currently, the minimum PHP version for the Contao Check seems to be 5.3.0, due to the static:: references » http://php.net/manual/it/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php

In PHP 5.2.17 or lower, you'll get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC in …/index.php on line 34

See https://3v4l.org/FCFcP for example.

Since the Contao Check should provide information about whether or not the server environment is suitable for a Contao installation, shouldn't the minimum PHP compatibility be at least 5.2.0 for example?

IMHO, the minimum PHP version should be one of the maintained versions, so PHP 5.5 or PHP 5.6.
