   @mmn @lnxw48 as far as I remember PHP 5.3 has security issues as well

     @mk @mmn If you're using distro-supported versions, security fixes are backported.

     @lnxw48 that's a minority - most people use PHP supplied by a web host. Or - in my case - supplied by their NAS manufacturer (who nicely provides PHP 5.5!) Anyway, I actually doubt security fixes ar backported for aversion that's been EOL for a few years now.

     @mk My host supplies CentOS 6.6 (equiv to RHEL 6.6). PHP version is whatever is supported by Red Hat's equivalent OS, including security backports.

     @lnxw48 but do those 'security backports' actually *exist* for PHP 5.3??? A good host will have long upgraded to a more sane version, and providing PHP 5.3 only as fallback for absolutely nnecessary applications that absolutely need …

     @mk Yes! Red Hat has paid customers all over the world using its supported software versions. RH (and Debian!) backport security fixes for their supported versions.

     @lnxw48 incredible. Even if there are (all possible) security fixes, I still think you should upgrade. There are reasons why it's EOL!

     @mk Actually, the #fambiz recently abandoned a long-term shared hosting account where PHP 5.2 was still available (5.3 became their preferred version about a year ago; 5.4 was available but marked "experimental"). They were running Debian Squeeze as of three months ago.

     @mk I'd like to upgrade. #CentOS 7 is out. :-)

     @lnxw48 Shared hosting support is always pretty awful; I had PHP4 support with GoDaddy before I got my VPS. Terrible! >_<
