Questions tagged [php-5.2]

PHP 5.2 (now past End of Life) is the successor to PHP 5.1. It was released on November 2, 2006. Use this tag for version-specific issues relating to specifically to PHP 5.2.

PHP is a widely-used, general-purpose scripting language designed specifically for web development, though it has since been extended to other applications too. PHP is the most popular language for web development, powering over 20 million websites.

Note that support for PHP 5.2 has been officially discontinued. There are no externally supported versions of 5.2 (i.e. backported security fixes) so it is highly recommended you upgrade to a supported version.
