Which PHP/MySQL versions?

**dugawug** · 9 Mar 2007, 01:57 AM

I'm about to set up a brand new install on a Linux server and was curious what version of PHP and MySQL is best to start with? I understand the lastest of each (5.x.x) is not technically supported. Is it ok to go with the absolute latest of each? Or is there a particular older version I should stick with?

Zen really dont need the latest & greatest to work perfectly

Uncle_Unix is currently testing on Debian sql5/php5.1 without any issues at all.

I would pick the distro with the longest lifecycle ex: Ubuntu 6.0.6 has 5 year long term support "LTS" Great little setup & easy as heck to keep running

Yes, I only meant that if you use anything before 5.2 that I did not recall any issues. And there is a fix for the issue that has surfaced but there may be more or not??
