abdul202 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 i have PHP 5.3.27 installed on my server and i want to update the php to the latest stable version, i checked the php.net website i found that they release 5.5.x upgrade alongside 5.4.x upgrade, i'm a little confused about which one is the latest i thought it should be 5.5.x , so why the still release update for 5.4.x so please which one i should update to, i don't have any restriction, i just want the best of the the 2 merry Christmas Abdul Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/284929-which-php-version-to-update-to-55x-or-54x-from-php-5327/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Not all versions are compatible with each other, thus different active and stable branches. 5.5.x is the latest, 5.4.x is the second-latest, and 5.6 is in development. What version you upgrade to depends on your code: if you're running 5.3 without problems now then try 5.5.

trq Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 5.5.x is the latest, 5.4.x is the second-latest It's really just semantics but 5.5 is the *current* version, everything else is considered an *old* version. There are stable releases of each.

There are stable releases of each. i think you recommend me to upgrade to the 5.5 as it's the current latest, i just worried about some scripts are using the old mysql_ext , i can't update them, i hope if i disable the php error reporting, that would be enough to make the scripts work using that deprecated extension, and not showing the annoying error message Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/284929-which-php-version-to-update-to-55x-or-54x-from-php-5327/#findComment-1463108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 You can configure php to not report deprecation warnings. I wouldn't go to 5.5 though if I was using mysql_*. Your code is obviously not modern enough for it.
