[General] PHP 5.2.14 Update

We are beginning the roll-out of PHP 5.2.14 on our servers. This is the latest version of the PHP 5.2 tree, and consequently the final release of the PHP 5.2 release tree.

For those interested the release notes for PHP 5.2.14 can be found at the link below

PHP 5.2.14 Released!

For the vast majority of users, you will not see any changes. These minor PHP upgrades (i.e. 5.2.13 to 5.2.14) are generally just security updates and have little or no bearing on the operation of any scripts.

As stated, this is expected to be the final release of the PHP 5.2 tree. Some security issues may be addressed if they come up with this version. But basically the PHP developers are encouraging users to upgrade to PHP 5.3. We don’t yet have a roadmap for putting PHP 5.3 on our servers, we will be investigating that in the weeks ahead.

For users that want to get a head start on this, you should e-mail or contact the vendors or developers of the scripts that you are using on your website and see if they are compatible with PHP 5.3. If they are not, point the vendor or developer to the PHP 5.2.14 release notes which states that the PHP developers are encouraging the adoption of PHP 5.3 and that every effort should be made to get the script ready for PHP 5.3.

Thank You
