Upgrading PHP on a 5.6.0.2 installation

Permalink
If I update my PHP version from 5.2 to 5.3 (so that I can instal a new C5 5.7 installation), will this have any adverse effects on my existing 5.6 installation of C5?

Cheers

Hiya,

I know C5 5.6 will be OK on PHP 5.3 as a new installation, but are there any implications for upgrading the PHP version on the server when I have an existing C5 5.6 installation running?

Cheers,
Woody

There should be no problems. I have made updates from php 5.2 to 5.3 or 5.4 on several live sites with no glitches at all.

As always, play it safe and make a backup first.
