PHP5 Compatibility?

Greetings.

I’ve been exploring FOSS EMR software for solo/partner practices.  I’ve been favorably impressed by what I’ve seen of the OpenEMR project, the online demo, etc.

I’d like to investigate further, but the package I downloaded appears to require PHP4.  All my machines are currently running PHP5 and I’m reluctant to downgrade without a compelling reason.  A search of the forums here returned a discussion of this subject in (IIRC) May of 2006.  I believe the last post in that thread said “Soon.”

What, please is the current status of the project WRT PHP versions?

TIA.

PHP 5 has been supported since release 2.8.2, so you should be fine.

Welcome to OpenEMR!

Thanks for the prompt response!

I’ll make sure I have the latest version and… check it out.
