Re: [Dolibarr-dev] PHP 5.3 reaching end of life

[Florian HENRY]

Hi

Until now we do not use PHP feature like Traits only support in PHP 5.4, 
but may be it could come specially in external module. After that the 
magical function and other stuff are supported in 5.3, so far so good.

The major point is to be sure that there is no use of deprecated PHP 5.5 
from 5.3 code into Dolibarr.
We have to avoid the same mistake done by vTiger only comptible with php 
5.2 and cannot be installed or use on 5.3 or higher. It is a major point 
for an ERP being compatible with last technical version, can you imagine 
deployed production ERP on Windows 95 ? (Ok it is extreme compare but it 
work as commercial argument).

For the moment as I know Dolibarr work from 5.3 to 5.5 so may be no 
hurry to "needed PHP 5.5", but must be aware to not introduce deprecated 
code. It is just a matter of short time before hosting service provider 
migrate to 5.4, they do not have choice.
