Will Perch 1.2 work with php 5.5?

Hello fishheads :)

I support a site which is (lovingly) mired in Perch 1.2 with no appetite to update (yet). Their hosting provider has mandated an update to php 5.5.

Will that require changes or otherwise break their site?

Any advice gratefully accepted.

Thanks, --dan

You should update to 1.8.4 - we can't offer support for 1.2 and don't have a test installation so I can't tell you if it would be ok with a newer version of PHP.

If you are staying on Perch 1 then we would strongly advise that you apply the 1.8.4 update.

Also note that we are ending support for Perch 1 as of May 2015. You are of course welcome to continue using it for as long as you like if it is working for you.
