I would like to install Xdebug (http://xdebug.org/) on my 64 bit Windows 7 machine to debug Drupal code running on PHP 5.2. The Xdebug download page does not provide a download for a 64 bit version compatible with PHP 5.2. Many Drupal modules are not compatible with PHP 5.3, so it is not an option to switch to a later version of PHP. W...

The function looks like this, public function add...
I'm attempting to use the PHP DateTime class on a Solaris server with PHP 5.2.6, while testing on my local Windows box running PHP 5.3.

It's really irking me that PHP considers the failure to instantiate an object a Fatal Error (which can't be caught) for the application as a whole. I have set of classes that aren't strictly necessary for my application to function--they're really a convenience. I have a factory object that attempts to instantiate the class variant that'...
I have an app that receives a request from another app. It detects a value on the query string, checks that value against a cached value and, if they don't match, it needs to clear its cache and reload the page (establishing a new cache). Unfortunately, I can't find a way to tell Symfony to redirect to the current page in exactly the sam...

How mature is PDO for PHP 5.2.13 for a serious project? (By serious I mean a script that is going to be sold and deployed in different platforms and environments. Something not serious would be for testing or developing, in this case) Currently, most host companies are running PHP 5.2.13 and adoption for 5.3.x seems too far away... S...

Does anyone know either 1) ...

Well, found out that I built a relatively large program built on top of DateTime, only to find most of what I used there got added in PHP 5.3. The server I have to deploy to does not run 5.3. (And it's a Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) box which doesn't have a 5.3 package in the main repo, and I'm not allowed to install anything not in the main repo...
