CForms II Version 10.5 Requires PHP 5
Bloggers, if you use Cforms II plug-in for your wordpress blog for customized forms and such, then you will have to double check and make sure your PHP version is 5.0 or later in order to support the latest 10.5 upgrade of CFORMS. I didn’t know what version my hosting company has installed on my blogs by default so I did some quick research and found the quickest way to find out is the following.
*Don’t log into your system and type:
php -i
Because the version that is in your /usr/bin or PATH for the user is not necessarily the one that is being used by your web instance, the easiest and best way is to create a file in your root directory and name it checkphp.php
The file should only contain these lines:
<?phpinfo();
?>
Save the file and hit it with your browser like:
http://www.dragonblogger.com/checkphp.php
You should see a page with the very top showing your PHP version and it should look like this:
As long as you are running 5.x and later your CForms II plug-in should work fine, I have upgraded mine and confirmed it works fine. If you are running PHP 4.x then you will have to upgrade your PHP prior to upgrading CForms II to 10.5. This may involve working with your web hosting company (they may have an automatic way to upgrade or install PHP 5.x) or you may have to do it manually.
