We have started to upgrade PHP on all Unix servers to version 5.2.1. Each server will need to be rebooted during the upgrade.

Unix27 is the first server to be upgraded, and this has already been done. Once this server has had some time with the new PHP we'll put together a schedule for the remaining Unix Servers.

To make the transition to PHP5 easier, we have enabling the zend.ze1_compatibility_mode directive by default. For true PHP5 functionality, you can disable this directive by putting the following line in an htaccess file in your web root:

php_flag zend.ze1_compatibility_mode Off

Instructions for enabling PGP4 CGI Support an be located on our support forums.

We do not have any timeline for PHP5 on Windows at this stage, .NET2 is the main current focus for our Windows servers.
