[Mapserver-users] PHP version and Maplab

[Paul Spencer]

Hi,

the earliest version that MapLab was developed with was PHP 4.0.6. 
There have been a number of significant changes to PHP since 4.0.6. 
MapLab has undoubted taken advantage of at least some of those changes. 
  Most significant is probably session handling and use of superglobals 
$GLOBALS, $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION and some other changes.  It is most 
likely that MapLab will not run on versions of PHP earlier than 4.2.x 
without at least some problems.

Also note that there are many significant security and bug fixes that 
have happened after PHP 4.0.6 that should justify upgrading to a more 
recent version.

Cheers,

Paul
