The documentation (Quickstart and Getting Started) state the needed PHP version.

And yes, it's 5.3.2. And no, not because of inconsistencies. :)

I loathe that "5.3.2 because of some widespread distributions", but neither I nor the team are stupid and ignorant (at least not at the same time). So we still support it, becasue every time we discussed that topic so far, enough people pointed to Debian and other distributions' PHP version.

No need to discuss this further, as there is no "solution".

Regards,
Karsten

PS: I still hate that policy and believe simply shipping updated PHP packages can be as backwards compatible.
