Update dev site to PHP 5.3 #26

Closed fakedarren closed 13 years ago

We're considering dropping this as a requirement.

PHP 5.3.x has some great improvements but we also run the risk of breaking our existing architecture, the benefits may not outweigh the problems this could cause.

Any feedback on potential problems appreciated. The main concern is the Forge.

The (mt) guys said on our (dv) we can only run php5.3 by compiling it and having it running in cgi mode next to our php5.2. This is not exactly what I'd like to have for us and at this current state the only reason we really need this is for anonymous functions but not much more. I'd like to upgrade php from 5.2 to 5.3 all at once in the entire server but to do so we need to be absolutely sure every bit is running behind 5.2 will not be a problem in 5.3 (im particularly pointing to Forge). So my suggestion here is to wait until we are at a good shape with the entire site and once we drop the old stuff in favor of the new one, we can do the jump quite easily.
