All this while, I've been working hard to make sure that all our apps runs on as many flavours of php/MySQL as possible. This means suporting php 4.0 or even the bug-ridden php 4.1.7. On the database side, we even test it with MySQL 3.0!

However, moving forward, we have decided to put aminimum requirement for all our component. Don't panic! We will still support php 4, but a minimum version of 4.3 will be required. This helps us greatly as it allows us to focus on coding and not too worry too much about working around php bugs. Regardless of the announcement by php developers to discontinue php4 by year end, we have no such plan. We do understand that lots of our user still uses php4 and sometimes have no control over the server. (Although, it would be nice if everyone just upgrade to php 5!)

As for MySQL, at the very least, we would require version 4.0. Those of you still running on MySQL 3, please, take a moment to uprade. If you are on a shared hosting runnng MySQL 3, you ought to start looking for a new hosting server.
