Zend server does have a community edition which is good for upgrading to a decent php version, its a shame the shared hosting (and redhat) companies seem to lag behind so much, we had the same problem with php4 which hurt the adoption of php5, we will probably have the same with 5.3. Really the framework cant hang around supporting the older versions now, it has to stay competitive with other frameworks and indeed languages. > > Eric Naujock. > > On May 1, 2009, at 9:00 AM, mbneto wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> Now that the ZF .18 is out I'd like to know if anyone has the php version >> requirement for the individual classes.
