Hello William Gordon,
We are sending out this e-mail to inform our customers that we are upgrading
PHP versions from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3.
PHP 5.2 has a development status of EOL (End of Life) set by the PHP Group
which means that it is no longer receiving security updates.
We feel that in order to provide our customers with the most secure and best
service possible we need to ensure that we receive the most up to date
security patches, otherwise it could potentially end up putting our clients
at risk to attacks. We have already had quite a number of our customers
requesting this upgrade. We are going to be scheduling the upgrade to PHP
5.3 for the week of July 23rd 2012. We feel that this will provide our
customers with enough time to make appropriate adjustments to prepare for
this upgrade.
The upgrade to PHP 5.3 should not create too many issues; it will primarily
affect scripts which are using functions/features which have been deprecated
from PHP 5.2. We recommend that you please check with your developers and,
if needed, make necessary changes. If required, also update your third
party-scripts to their latest versions. If you are unsure about
compatibility of your third-party script with PHP 5.3, you will want to
check with the developer of your script to make sure you are ready.
You can find a list of features that were deprecated in PHP 5.3 at:
http://php.net/manual/en/migration53.deprecated.php
Summary: PHP 5.3 upgrade on
Webhostingpad.com servers scheduled for week of
July 23rd 2012; make sure your PHP scripts are compatible.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Thank you,
