Question

I am using two shared hosting companies, I want to install thebuggenie in one of them, but there are two different complications came across. One shared hosting has PHP 5.3 but only allows two database. Another shared hosting has PHP 5.2.x and allows 40 database. The one which provide two database is already packed, and since thebuggenie can be installed only above PHP 5.3, can I install the Project file in one hosting which allows 5.3 and database in other hosting company which allows 40 database. If so, how ?

Answer 1

Have a look at upgradephp – http://include-once.org/p/upgradephp/ … it’s an include that you can use on ‘old’ versions of php, and it will provide the functionality of currently 5.3 or 5.4… so include this on you’re “shared hosting has PHP 5.2.x and allows 40 database” and it will give you 5.3/5.4 functionality.

I have used it many times now of hosting services which are slow adopters to ‘upgrade’ php to support any new functionality.

From their site: “With ‘upgrade.php’ on-hand, you can use many features from newer PHP versions (up to 5.3/5.4 currently) without losing compatibility to older interpreters and outdated webserver setups. It takes care of emulating any functions (with their original names) that are missing at runtime.”
