PHP 5.3.1 incompatibility
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

MediaWiki is not compatible with PHP 5.3.1, due to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50394 . StubObject is presumably broken if you call it with reference parameters, and ParserFunctions_HookStub is reported as being definitely broken.

We need to assess the impact and possible workarounds. We may need to do a bugfix release. I will continue to work with the PHP developers to get a solution released (regardless of what Jani says).


Version: 1.15.x

How should we resolve this now? I see Tim blacklisted 5.3.1 in r60827 and PHP has fixed the regression for 5.3.2.

I'd consider that as fixed as it's gonna get.
