Deprecated PHP Code & D7.1 Will it work?

Will D7.1 work with the latest version of PHP?

A few D7.0x calls are deprecated (not supported) in the latest PHP version (version 6, I understand).

If something is deprecated, it's still working, but in the process of being phased out. BoonEx has already made changes to Dolphin when some of its requirements became deprecated, so I don't see why they wouldn't do it again.

Thanks Magnus, the point I was making is it already has been phased out in PHP Version 6.

March 17, 2011. Lastest stable release of PHP is currenty 5.3.6 http://www.php.net/

I do not know where your getting your information on PHP 6.

And even if it was out, it will be quite some time before it becomes standard as part of any linux distro.

Hello Deano, fair point. But it is a valid question (D7.1 isn't out yet either).

But it is more than likely that any future updates to PHP (prior to version 6) will have removed the existing deprecated code (or some of it).

I do not want to wake up one day to find that D7.1 has not taken account of this and fails to work properly. With the official Boonex support being what it is, I do not want the aggravation.

I do however want to be able update PHP for the security benefits etc.

The only deprecated features currently used in Dolphin are on the chopping block for PHP 6, not PHP 5.

That's good to know :-)
