Because the scripts are running fine now on 5.3.3 and I looked up the errors I am getting. They have been dealing with Php upgrades. &nbsp;So far, I fixed one (needed to use $_SESSION instead of some deprecated functions) and the next one is connecting to mysql. I fear I will need to spend more time then I have patching scripts that I didn't initially write. There are a lot of them.

But why in the hell you want a burden to support later PHP version, when Ubuntu gives you full free support for old version?

Hi, <br />
I'm trying to find out if I install Ubuntu 12.04 on a rackspace cloud server, <br />
what version of Php will be installed when I install it through aptitude ? <br />
Is there a way for me to find this out before I spin up a server and try to install php? <br />
<br />
The end result I would like is to be able to run php 5.3.3 or 5.3 because some of the scripts I have need that version to function correctly. I've tried to run them on 5.5.9 and they are not working. <br />
Thanks

Ubuntu and php version

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
