Server Requirements

+

PHP version 5.6 or newer is recommended.

+

It should work on 5.3.7 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:

+
+
    +
  • 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
    • +
  • MS SQL via the mssql, sqlsrv (version 2005 and above only) and pdo drivers
    • +
  • SQLite via the sqlite (version 2), sqlite3 (version 3) and pdo drivers
    • +
  • CUBRID via the cubrid and pdo drivers
    • +
  • Interbase/Firebird via the ibase and pdo drivers
    • +
  • ODBC via the odbc and pdo drivers (you should know that ODBC is actually an abstraction layer)
