Version 1.8 of Claroline will be the last to support PHP 4 |
 The team of PHP will stop the development of PHP 4 and the support of
this version will finish at the end of this year (December 31, 2007).
They advise the developers using PHP to migrate their applications to PHP 5.
Claroline
supports PHP 5 since the version 1.5 but doesn't use the new
functionalities of PHP 5 to keep compatibility with PHP 4.
Following this announcement, the Claroline
team decided to use the new
functionalities of PHP 5 for the next major version of Claroline (Claroline 1.9).
- If you already use PHP 5 on your server, it doesn't imply anything for you.
- If
you use PHP 4 on your server and if Claroline is the only application running on it, we advise you to plan the migration to PHP 5.
- If you use PHP 4 on your server and if you
use or develop other applications using PHP 4, we advise you to migrate your
applications to PHP 5.
- If you decide to install Claroline or to move your platform on another server, we advise you to use PHP 5.
The version of PHP 5 brings:
- Speed and stability
- A better security of the applications
- A new model object
- Simplification of the use of XML
- and an important batch of functionalities and bugs corrections
We recommend you the last version of PHP 5 : 5.2.4
