Hi Jigal,

thank you for your answer! You're right: official release notes state
the requirement of php 5.2 but ... when 4.2 branch came out i read a
Michael Stucki post on buzz.typo3.org [1] where he wrote:
"...If you are using PHP 5.1 then you might be in luck... We are aware
that enterprise Linux distributions of Novell and RedHat do not ship
with PHP 5.2 yet (they both come with 5.1). Therefore, we will avoid
using PHP 5.2 any specific features in TYPO3 as long as they have not
switched."

Checking index_ts.php on line 44 confirm that as well for 4.2.10:

if (version_compare(phpversion(), '5.1', '<'))	die ('TYPO3 requires PHP
5.1.0 or higher.');
