I'm currently using PHP v. 5.2.17. Would you guys recommend updating to 5.3.x for security, or are there any stability concerns with the newer releases? Am I going to run in to compliance problems with my PHP scripts? If you guys think that I should update, which is the most stable version of 5.3.x? TIA, Jason

Am I going to run in to compliance problems with my PHP scripts? PHP 5.2 is still supported, no reason to upgrade for security reasons. The changes between 5.2 - 5.3 - 5.4 are quite noticeable, see http://de.php.net/manual/en/appendices.php . You would upgrade if you need the new features, or you need to upgrade your server and use the bundled PHP version. > If you guys think that I should update, which is the most stable version of 5.3.x? The newest is generally best. Performance wise, the newest version 5.4 is said to be "the fastest PHP ever" (german review on heise.de). /Str.

AFAIK PHP 5.2 is still supported by some Linux distros by backporting important bug fixes, but the "official" support ended with 5.2.16 in December 2010, see <http://php.net/archive/2010.php>. 5.2.17 fixed a critical vulnerability and was released 3 weeks after 5.2.16. -- Christoph

That's correct. The only officially supported stable versions (outside of distribution backports) are 5.3 and 5.4. Adam

I was wrong saying it is still supported, see authoritative information at http://www.php.net/eol.php So the correct answer to OP is: upgrade. There are links to migration guides at php.net. /Str.
