Hi, looking at [0], PHP 5.3 is EOL. I suggest that for phpMyAdmin 4.5 we state that PHP 5.4 is the minimum. Doing so, we would have less testing to do, and we would help promote using a PHP supported version. I would even suggest PHP 5.5 as the minimum, because the end of security support for PHP 5.4 occurs in less than one month. [0] http://php.net/supported-versions.php -- Marc Delisle | phpMyAdmin

Sounds good to me.

I agree that we don't need to state support for not supported PHP version. So I'm fine with stating 5.5 as minimum. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.net

Given this, we should definitely state PHP 5.5 as the minimum requirement.

Also fine for me.

Do you base the minimum PHP version on upstream or what is supported by LTS versions of common distros? I see on the download page that you plan to support 4.0.10.x until Jan 1, 2017. Do you have plans to support a version of phpMyAdmin throughout the lifetime of those distros? Is it instead up to each distro to provide a package with backported fixes? Example distros: * Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (EOL April 2017) * CentOS 6.x (EOL November 2020) Thanks for your time.

Hello, Note that support is only for security fixes. As per the link above, phpMyAdmin 4.5's minimum PHP version is related to PHP development team's agenda. We will have to discuss this internally. I don't have these distros but it looks like Ubuntu 12.04 LTS contains PHP 5.3.10 and CentOS 6.6 contains PHP 5.3.3. -- Marc Delisle | phpMyAdmin

I don't think we should do it and I also don't see need for that. Both include PHP 5.3 which is supported by current 4.4.x releases. The 4.0.x is supported for PHP 5.2, what I think should be really dead by 2017. We will have to discus EOL for 4.4, which will be quite long as that's last version supporting PHP 5.3 and 5.4. BTW: Ubuntu did not care to update even the 3.4.10.1 version they have shipped with 12.04 LTS, so I really don't see it much security supported... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.net

Robert Scheck was kind enough to reply to my inquiry about LTS, so: - RHEL/CentOS 5 will support PHP 5.1 (and optionally 5.3) as well as MySQL 5.0 until 2017-03-31 - RHEL/CentOS 6 will support PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.1 until 2020-11-30 - RHEL/CentOS 7 will support PHP 5.4 and MariaDB 5.5 until 2024-06-30
BTW: Ubuntu did not care to update even the 3.4.10.1 version they have shipped with 12.04 LTS, so I really don't see it much security supported...
