The application sholud be work on PHP 5 is no longer relevant term for my team. Client use more precision term like PHP 5.2.17, PHP 5.3.3 etc. Its insane to support checking all those claim. The only ‘fair’ play assumption is testing it with more common version. Like PHP 5.2 I decide to use latest version of 5.2 family like 5.2.17.
In this post I try to retry available post that already use same approach but using Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS that use 64 bit architecture while I use 32 bit Ubuntu 14.04 server for this case.
The Plan
List of Supported PHP version in this post including from museum are :
5.2 -> 5.2.17
5.3 -> 5.3.29
5.4 -> 5.4.33
5.5 -> 5.5.34
5.6 -> 5.6.20
7.0 -> 7.0.5
Those PHP version will be install in single VM that tun Ubuntu 14.04 server with memory 1GB. In case the memory not fit the process then I can add it easily 🙂
