Wrong requirements for installation

[lucamaro]

Please update the php min version requirement: ternary operator "?:" is supported since php 5.3 and not 4.3. (see [http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php]).

Thanks.

Where do we have the wrong min requirement listed?

[lucamaro]

There is a reference in setup/inc/install-prereq.inc.php, but probably even some code that performs the check. Today I was able to finish successfully the installation (on an old linux machine...), but not able to open login page.

What version did you install? Latest version of osTicket requires PHP 5.3+

[lucamaro]

On our server we have PHP version 5.2.5 and a working installation of osticket 1.7 downloaded from the osticket site. There are two problems in my opinion: the first is that setup process should block installation when php < 5.3 is found. The second: just updating sources in 1.7 branch may break compatibility with your php.

I have no problem in updating my outdated php, so feel free to close the issue. And thanks for your attention.

Thanks for the feedback - I just wanted to get to the bottom of it. I think some of the bug fixes we back ported to 1.7 didn't take into consideration the PHP version requirements. We'll address the issue.
