Propel 1.7 not compatible with php < 5.3

[deresh]

Shouldn't propel1 remain compatible with php 5.2?

Because this commit:

9087851#diff-985e0b65dc2e8dc33ef6ac90bad11085

I made a comment there

right, we broke php 5.2 compat with 1.7... I think it was not intended, therefore we did not further promote this BC break.

Nevertheless php5.2 EOL was 2011, http://php.net/eol.php, therefore I think people on PHP 5.2 have bigger problems than propel1 compat, right?

@willdurand opinions?

[deresh]

well, its an issue and a BC break. Don't know about others, but i have (and surely there are others) a fairly amount of projects that uses propel and cannot upgrade beyond php 5.2 for various reasons :(

[willdurand]

We need to fix this. It is a BC break..

@deresh could you please come up with a fix?

[deresh]

Ok, i will send a pull request with a fix
