    http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ describes the requirement but I don’t want to assume anything:

    PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
MySQL version 5.0 or greater
    Should I be concerned about the following?
    My provider will be upgrading to PHP 5.3.2 and MySQL 5.1 libraries.
    Here are the comment that concern me:
    “Some specific changes between PHP5.2.4 and PHP5.3.2 are changes to the PHP engine that affects dynamic extension loading, PHP function deprecation, and deprecated function availability….
    “In order to assist in your preparation for the move from PHP5.2.4 to PHP5.3 we have placed in your home directory a file called ‘deprecated_5.2.x_code_Aug_14_2014’ that will contain the instances of your site code that will need to be changed before the upgrade or there will be undesired site behavior after the operating system upgrade has been completed.”
    deprecated_5.2.x_code_Aug_14_2014 reads:

    Not at all, when we say “or greater,” we definitely mean anything greater than the listed version will work just fine. 🙂

    While you’re at it though, you might want to ask your hosting provider to upgrade you to PHP 5.4 or greater, since PHP 5.3 is officially out of date as of 4 days ago. 😉
