PHP Version

Submitted by xkeywee on Tue, 06/23/2009 - 21:08

We have just loaded our new servers and "PHP Versions" is not showing under "Server Configuration"

Did we do something wrong with the installation.

Unless you've installed php4 packages, there wouldn't be any versions to choose from.

Not that php4 has been deprecated by the php developers and is no longer safe to use.

If you really still want versions, you can install with:

apt-get install php4

And whatever modules you need.

Thanks

I have Debian 5.0 (Lenny)

I had tried that and get "Package php4 is not available"

Is it possible to still install it.

Oh, right. Lenny was released after php4 was dead. So, I guess not. Sorry. Debian 4 has it...so it might be installable, but that seems a bit risky (even moreso than running php4 in general). Did you miss the part where I said it was deprecated? That means that even known security bugs (of which I believe there are already a few) are not being fixed. Running php4 is asking for security problems.

Can yopu not upgrade or port your applications to run on a still supported php version?
