Subject: [Loris-dev] Loris PHP version for CentO/S 6
Message-ID: <CA+908z4CUtKD+R=b4DX+1fR3ne=zqXpoazcuzss0=1jZhvb1OA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
I am new to Loris and was going through the ReadMe to the section on PHP
version where it said:

> "Note that the version of PHP installed by CentOS 6.x is approximately 600
> years old, and doesn't meet the minimum requirements of many development

I am willing to upgrade PHP,  but I could not find which is the preferred
version.  CentO/S 6 comes with 5.3 (plus back ports with newer features),
but there seem to be many choices: 5.5, 5.6, or 7.0 seem to be popular
releases.  Is there a down side (i.e will anything break if I use a new
version) to any of the versions?  What is the lowest version that will
satisfy your your current and near term dependencies?

Thank you,
      steve.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your message.
We are recommending installation of PHP 5.6 for best results with LORIS for
several reasons, including optimal compatibility with our upcoming spring
release.

We'll clarify this in our documentation for CentOS shortly, and please
don't hesitate to reach out with any further questions.
Best,
Christine
