Missing file in ZC 1.5.5e ??

DrByte:

Sigh. Yes, you're right. https://github.com/zencart/zencart/commit/f37689d5e29a950382203241f459047741b996f6

At least I'm not going mad then... !

It's hard to continue to write modern code when people use obsolete versions. :(

As I have said, it isn't obsolete as it is still supported on RHEL, and will be until 2020.

I don't disagree that it would be better if they supported a more modern version, bu the fact is that currently they don't. That's a fight that needs picking with RH :-)

i think there is no fight that needs picking.

i am of the opinion that out with the old and in with new. i like the idea of writing modern code and not conforming to people who are using old/obsolete versions.

john, centOS 6 was released close to 6 years ago. if you want to stay on that platform, you can upgrade to centOS 7 which was released in july 2014. that version has more modern versions of php available.

in addition, you can manually update your version of php using yum and stay on centOS 6. there is plenty of documentation out there. i found these 2 links rather quickly:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21502656/upgrading-php-on-centos-6-5-final
https://blog.remirepo.net/pages/Config-en

you could also move to another linux platform.

finally, if you can not run a more modern version of php; you could also stay with an older version of ZC (and the risks that entails).

the idea that the ZC team needs to support php 5.3 until some time in 2020 because that's the end of support for centOS 5.6 is ludicrous to me.

best.

Absolutely! PHP 5.3 reached end of life on 14 Aug 2014 and is no longer supported by php.net.

For those interested, see http://au2.php.net/supported-versions.php

Bit off-topic but surely worth mentioning and supporting DrByte's statement.
