New hashing and php version ?

[chrismfz]

If the PHP version of the web server is 5.3.7 or greater, then Bcrypt will be used. Otherwise, if the web server is using a version of PHP that is less than 5.3.7, SHA256-HMAC will be used.

and:

So to that end, for our next major release we will be making the following changes:

 

 

• Minimum PHP Version: PHP 5.3.7 (Currently 5.2)
  

 

 

What about RHEL 6.5, Centos 6.5 and CloudLinux (and any other clone of EL ?)

 

Version number says 5.3.3. But that's because Redhat doesn't change version number. They just patch the updates.

 

For example in a Centos 6.5 server we got:

# php -v
PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Aug  6 2014 05:54:27)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group

 

But it's really:

Installed Packages
Name        : php
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 5.3.3
Release     : 27.el6_5.1

 

A patched 5.3.3 till 5.3.27. WHMCS will recognize it as older than 5.3.7 or with any other checking mechanism will understand that it newer than 5.3.7 ?

 

Correct me if I am wrong

Great question. Same issue here, with our servers' CentOS running 5.3.3 (the latest officially supported PHP for CentOS 6.x) -- but it's 27.el6_5.1 as chrismfz pointed out.

 

Please respond, WHMCS staff.
