Questions tagged [php-5.3]

PHP 5.3 (now past End of Life) is the successor to PHP 5.2. It was released on June 30, 2009. Use this tag for version-specific issues relating to specifically to PHP 5.3.

The last version of PHP 5.3 was 5.3.29, which was released on 14-Aug-2014. This version has reached its end of life and will no longer receive any updates.

PHP 5.3 caused many headaches for legacy software as a number of mechanisms PHP had relied on were deprecated (most notably register_globals and safe_mode). Many string search related functions were deprecated too, such as split() and ereg(). Much code written before PHP 5 (and some during) makes use of both these, and therefore a lot of older code base needed updating.

See https://php.net/manual/en/migration53.deprecated.php for a full list.
