Will XenForo 1.2 be compatible with MySQL 5.6 and PHP 5.5?

[Alpha1]

Now that development is on again and 1.2 is coming, I wonder if XenForo will support the latest stable versions of PHP and MySQL? (assuming that 1.2 will come after the upcoming Gold release of PHP5.5)

My new server has mysql 5.6 and it runs fine.

I'm only aware of one known issue outstanding with PHP5.4+ and XenForo 1.1.x so I'd say not much needs to be done.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

And what is that known issue?

 

[Chris D]

This one: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/php-5-4-bug.29835/

It is only visible with Debug mode enabled.

Several addons and resources do not work with PHP 5.4 as well. But, over the past month or two many have been updated to add that support.

My server has php 5.2.17 and it is not allowing me to install Xenforo at all! here is the link: http://sikhbusiness.net/install/index.php?install/

Is there any work around to this problem? My problem is that my other major website is on vbulletin 3.8.7 and that does not support 5.4 and i do not feel like upgrading to 4.2 !! i wanna cry...

Please advice...

Looks like you have to compile php with MySQLi option. Your problem is not the php version.

If you have an Ubuntu server:

apt-get install php5-mysql

The server admin did complile it but there was a warning that i need to upgrade the server's php version to 5.4 be able to run mysqli!

 

[duderuud]

Mysqli is old school, it's replaced with php5-mysql.

Mysqli is old school, it's replaced with php5-mysql.

Wrong.

php-mysql is the original, then came along php-mysqli and now the latest and greatest is the native driver: php-mysqlnd.

You learn every day...thx

 

[Neutral Singh]

So the only solution would be to buy another server!

No, your admin just needs to compile PHP with MySQLi. You don't need 5.4 for that. It works on 5.2 just fine.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Yes, but PHP 5.2 is officially deprecated. More and more hosts are moving to PHP 5.3 and 5.4.

 

[Gladius]

Well obviously he'd use 5.3 or 5.4 if possible, just saying that it works fine on 5.2 as well.

FWIW, I've just had a quick play with 1.1.4 on PHP 5.5 and haven't experienced any issues. We don't use preg_replace with the e modifier, which is one of the deprecated changes, and we've never used any of the other things that are now deprecated. (Plus 1.1.4 will not show strict/deprecation errors unless you're in debug mode, to reduce showing potential minor warnings to end users.)

What about MySQL 5.6?

What about MySQL 5.6?

My test setup is working fine against 5.6-10 of MySQL.
