This week we branched the new 2.7 branch from the current stable 2.6 branch. 2.7.0 will be the next major version of phpMyFAQ with a focus on a brand new user interface and some social improvements like better Facebook and Twitter integration. We changed the minimal PHP version for phpMyFAQ 2.7 to PHP 5.2.3. The current master branch was re-versioned to 3.0.0-dev and will need PHP 5.3, but it will take more than a year before you can see something here.

Installing PHP 5.3 with MacPorts
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009I’m using MacPorts on my iMac and my MacBook Pro for PHP development. Yesterday I mentioned that MacPorts switched their stable PHP 5 package from PHP 5.2.10 to PHP 5.3.0 and I decided to do the switch as well. Upgrading packages with MacPorts is very easy, it’s just a
imac:~ thorsten$ sudo port upgrade outdated
Just hit enter and MacPorts starts to build all packages which have to be updated. My problem was that PHP 5.3.0 didn’t installed automatically:
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/include/php/ext/ereg/php_ereg.h already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port php5.
So I tried to uninstall the PHP 5 package and re-install it once again. But also the same problem the second time. So I decided to do the hard way and I removed all the PHP library stuff.
imac:~ thorsten$ rm -rf /opt/local/include/php
imac:~ thorsten$ rm -rf /opt/local/include/php
Now I tried it once again:
imac:lib thorsten$ sudo port install php5 +apache2 +macosx +mysql5 +pear +postgresql83 +sqlite --->Â Installing php5 @5.3.0_0+apache2+macosx+mysql5+pear+postgresql83+sqlite --->Â Activating php5 @5.3.0_0+apache2+macosx+mysql5+pear+postgresql83+sqlite You may need to update your php.ini for any changes that have been made in this version of php. Compare /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini with /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini-development (if this is a development server) or /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini-production (if this is a production server). If this is your first install, you need to activate PHP in your web server. To enable PHP in Apache, run cd /opt/local/apache2/modules /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so --->Â Cleaning php5
Then I restarted Apache… and PHP 5.3.0 is running on my iMac!
phpMyFAQ and PHP 5.3
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009If everything works fine PHP 5.3 will be released at the end of this month. PHP 5.3 will be a big step further after the 5.2 release more than two years ago. The phpMyFAQ team did some testing with the last release candidates of PHP 5.3 and already fixed some issues we found. phpMyFAQ 2.0.15 and the upcoming phpMyFAQ 2.5.0-RC will run without any problems on PHP 5.3.
