Hi
Will I have problems trying to run civicrm 4.5.5 using PHP v5.3.27?

Regards

Quite possibly. See http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+PHP+Requirements

Hi
Yes I have seen http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+PHP+Requirements and it says PHP 5.3.10+ (bare minimum) so what if anything will not work if I have 5.3.27??

5.3.27 supersedes 5.3.10 by my count, so you should be OK with it. However the wiki page does recommend 5.4, so my advice would be to go with the recommendation if you can.

Having said that I have 4.5.5 running on PHP 5.3.x without major issues (although with some minor issues - which are prompting me to upgrade). If you are having major issues on 5.3.27 I'd day that the PHP version is probably not the root cause. Care to share any details of the issues you are seeing?

Duh, whoops. You're right it does meet the minimum requirement. So things should work but as Graham said we will be dropping 5.3 support eventually so upgrade when you can.

I am not currently having any issues as I am running on a server with PHP 5.4 however I may have to move my site to a server running PHP 5.3.27 so worried about any issues I may have.
Thanks both for the reply's
