We are now PHP5.2.x only!

May 2nd, 2008

We are gearing up to release a new component, and some huge bug fixes to Joomla KB and Joomla Tags - we have already warned you in advance that we will only be supporting PHP5 in the future (in line with a load of other projects) and this blog post is a reminder that Joomla KB and Joomla Tags (and anything new we release in the future) will be only capable of working on a server with PHP5 installed.

mosDirectory, Phil-a-form and mosListMessenger will continue to work on PHP4.x and will only have bug fixes applied to them (using PHP4 syntax).

Joomla KB and Joomla Tags will only work on servers with PHP 5 installed!!!

We will make this fact clear on the buy now pages for these components - and we will ~NOT~ be providing refunds to existing customers or new customers if they are not running PHP5 - Why you may ask? Well Official support for PHP4 ended a long time ago and community support for PHP4 is ending this year - PHP6 will be released soon and its time we all moved forward - Please google this change if you want to see what others are saying on the subject.  Moving to PHP5 we are in good company :-)!

If you are currently running  Joomla KB and Joomla Tags - Please check your PHP version before attempting an upgrade as we will not be providing older versions that work with PHP4!!!

To check what version of PHP your server is running - you can go to System Info in the Joomla Admin console, and then click PHP tab - the version number is in there - you need at least PHP 5.2 in order to run Joomla KB and Joomla Tags.
