-- A Database is required for most web application programming.
+`PHP <http://www.php.net/>`_ version 5.4 or newer is recommended.
+
+It should work on 5.2.4 as well, but we strongly advise you NOT to run
+such old versions of PHP, because of potential security and performance
+issues, as well as missing features.
+
+A database is required for most web application programming.
+Currently supported databases are:
- Currently supported databases are:
- MySQL (5.1+) via the *mysql* (deprecated), *mysqli* and *pdo* drivers
- Oracle via the *oci8* and *pdo* drivers
- PostgreSQL via the *postgre* and *pdo* drivers
