This document attempts to detail the current state of PHP versions working to find the minimum version of PHP the OpenStack SDK should support. This document is relevant as of February 2014.

PHP Version Usage
According to w3techs, PHP 5 has a 97.7% market share. The minor version usage breakdown as of February 2014 is:
Version | Usage | State |
---|---|---|
5.5 | 1.2% | Latest |
5.4 | 13.1% | Stable |
5.3 | 52.1% | EOL 7/2014 |
5.2 | 31.8% | EOL |
5.1 | 1.7% | EOL |
5.0 | .7% | EOL |
Note: For those with Zend Server agreements there will be longer term PHP 5.3 support. Zend have pledged an additional 2 years support for 5.3 after its EOL (March 2013). They will no longer support 5.3 in ~12 months (March 2015).
