Are there any expected incompatibilities with IPB 2.2.x and PHP 5.2.0 (just released today, 11/2/06)? :unsure:

Link to PHP 5.2.0 Changelog

PHP 5.2.0 is awesome has a ton of nice fixes and new features

I hope ipb 2.2 will work with it

it should as this is 5.1.x just optimized and bugs fixed

My host is planing on upgrading to it next month so I hope it fixes the 2.2 problem I am having if not I still have a txt file for my fist 2.2 ticket.

Damn, another version of PHP already? I just comissioned a brand new server with custom Apache, PHP, and MySQL installs... Have to start all over (well mostly) At least there is a new MySQL version; I'll be done for awhile

Oh well, we're making progress. Hopefully the compiles will be easier with all of the fixed bugs.

In theory, nothing should happen with IPB, but who knows. Has anyone tried it out yet?

What advantages would there be to me using PHP 5+ or MYSQL 5+? I am just wondering what good it even would do, if it would be worth me switching servers.

No issues here running PHP 5.2 and IPB 2.2

Mainly new features and speed increases.

There are a lot of people (myself included) who are starting to use a lot of PHP5's new functionality, especially in regards to object oriented programming. The applications do not degrade nicely to PHP4 based platforms, if at all.

However, php4 applications work just fine under php5 if the coder is worth his salt.

Our server is running PHP 5.2 and IPB 2.2 RC3 and our forum works just fine. :)

This is good to hear, since my server will probably be upgraded soon.
