PHP and MySQL Versison for SMF

<< < (2/2)

GameDemand:
I guess the big question is what we may lose if we don't have the latest recommended versions.  There are some major repurcussions if you go with the latest MYSQL for instance and some other software packages may cease to fuction (from what I can tell) since they changed important things in the latest Rev.

I'm running:
php 4.2.2
mysql 3.23.58

I do understand encryption has changed in mysql but hopefully it is backwards compatible.  What might we miss out in SMF if we are running earlier (but compatible) versions?

Peter Duggan:
My understanding is that it's more a case of what it's optimised for (performance wise) than what you'll 'miss'.

You'll lose some performance, and you won't be able to use "queryless URLs" with those version numbers.
