   Hello!

   We are planning to switch to PHP 5.3 in our vps. It is supposed to be faster and secure.

   Our question is... WordPress 3 supports PHP 5.3?

   Sorry if this has been asked before, we haven't found any thread specifically for this.

   Thank you.

   have a read of this: http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

   in Part, it says:

   To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things:

   * PHP version 4.3 or greater
   * MySQL version 4.1.2 or greater

   Thank you,

   So, the question is.... YES, we can upgrade to PHP 5.3.5, isn't it?

   Best regards,

   Diana.

   PHP version 4.3 or greater

   Yes, that's my understanding.

   You should be able to. I would scan trac.WordPress.org and see if anyone's reported issues with the latest PHP.

   Make sure your theme is compatible if you use WordPress.

   We have upgraded to php 5.3.5 and all sites working fine.

   Just we recompiled php-memcache again and that's all. :-)

    Deprecated doesn't mean "won't work".
