5.3.2x is newer than 5.3.3 I know. That is not the issue as 5.3.2x is not >= 5.3.3.

Perhaps Phar should get a new abacus.

As I say, update to greater than or equal to 5.3.3 and you'll be good to go.

I have run these commands

php --re Phar | grep version

Result: none

php -v

Result:

I've seen this line in my .htaccess

Code: Select all

# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php
Then have to talk to my hosting to put 5.3.23 version by default or not?

Edit: This sucks

As Arty already pointed out, 5.3.23 IS >= 5.3.3. You should review the PHP version history page if you're still confused or insist that it is not.

Why not do installation of vendor files on your computer instead and then upload to server?

Why not give an answer instead of pointing me to what I already have stated as knowing? Is this being constructive and useful? :roll:

I could point you to a math page to show you are confused about simple math but that too is defeating the option to actually be useful in supplying a result.

The reason for my suggestion is simple. Having tested 5.3.10 to 5.3.23 with various software with set requirements including 3.1 from introducing composer (still 5.3.2), composer has refused to install regularly with the same error (line 13) on various setups for whatever reason you want to not suggest. I propose to use a greater number (note: not version) and I get that response from a developer? :roll: Oh well, there goes another moment in the annals.

EDIT : removed concept explanation since I feel there is little to be gained by it.

I think you don't understand how version numbers work. .23 does not equal 0.23 number, it equals 23. Each part of version number should be treated separately, not like floating digit. So 23 > 3

5.3.23 > 5.3.3
Each number should be compared separately:
5 = 5 -> moving on to next number
3 = 3 -> moving on to next number
23 > 3

PHP scripts use version_compare() function, not mathematical comparison of floating numbers (which wouldn't work anyway because there are 2 dots). That function compares each part of number separately, so in php scripts 5.3.23 is newer than 5.3.3

That was really unnecessary. You are completely wrong with everything you've said about versions and even math and numbers (when did 3 become less than 23?) so before you continue making a fool of yourself I suggest you look up how versioning actually works, specifically how it is being used in PHP. Attempting to make diagrams doesn't replace how it actually works nor will it convince anyone that 3 is a higher version than 23. :roll:

To emphasize what Arty already stated and so you don't go mistakenly asking your hosting company to downgrade you from 5.3.23 to 5.3.3, this is your best option at this point:

Yes, I just try this method and I got this message.

Code: Select all
