Scheduled Php Upgrade (Completed)
We will be commencing PHP upgrades across all servers on the 1st May 2016.
The primary version of PHP installed on our servers is currently 5.4. Unfortunately this version reached end-of-life (EOL) status 6 months ago, and hasn't received any updates since then. In order to safeguard the security and performance of our servers, we must move to a better supported version of PHP.
On the 1st of May 2016 we will therefore be upgrading the primary PHP version to 5.5 or 5.6.
There are very few incompatibilities between 5.5 and 5.6 compared to 5.4, but some older scripts running under 5.4 may not be fully compatible with 5.5 or 5.6. Full details of the issues you may encounter are available on the php.net website - Migrating to PHP 5.5 and Migrating to PHP 5.6.
If you wish to test scripts ahead of the changeover, PHP 5.5 is currently available as a secondary install and can be selected on a directory by directory basis by logging into cPanel and clicking on the PHP Version manager icon.
