Does Xenforo...work with unreleased PHP 5.5.0-dev?

[RazorFlint]

Does it support PHP 5.5?

Well, there is a confirmed development version. Here.

But it's not something that should be running on a production or public facing site.

Especially not by a hosting provider.

 

[Shamil]

Especially with clients who will complain when something doesn't work

I'll get the php check file running.
Here: http://zeale.net/test.php
It seems to be a dev build...

I changed the title a bit, if you want I could change it back, but the thread really should have a more descriptive title than it had.

Why are they even working on php 5.5 when php 5.4 is on beta1?

Its so they can make sure they retain those pesky bugs and exploits they're fond of between versions.

I don't think some people are getting the point here.
I don't know why my host is using that, also he's not a company he's just my friend who said he'd gladly host it, don't complain at me for using it, I don't have a clue how to use it.

I think that was obvious by the "makes no sense" choice of php5.5
Friends don't let friends beergoggle or use a php version 18 months ahead of stable release.
It's just not right.
Save him.
Better yet, send him here, he probably should "run over" the thought processes behind using a php version that no one else is using.

5.5 development hasn't actually started. What you have there is PHP trunk which is just 5.4 at the moment.

It is a constant move forward, if you study any of the git work flow documentation with semantic version specifications, you will see that every 5.x version introduces new features. 5.5.0-dev is in the planning stages of future features. With PHP 5.3.x, they are only adding bug fixes, no features. At any time if they find and resolve an issue or bug, they can blanket the projects with that merge across the different 5.x versions, however production and planning is non stop. They would be stupid not to be planning what they want to include into 5.5. However if your host is using the 5.5.0-dev version of PHP, please for the love of the gods leave them. That version is not meant to be used for a production environment, and they plainly do not care about the security of your products. On my server, my main version currently is 5.3.8 with a development/future-testing AddHandler for 5.4.0RC3+.

Clearly not for long...

It's PHP Version 5.5 and XenForo Doesn't support it, I can't have a forum until XenForo works with PHP 5.5 Because my webhost is a tight *******.
www.zeale.net
(And that's not me being mean that's the website host :/)

That link just froze my browser, and made FF report an attack script.

I'd move my site to somewhere else if I were you.
