No more php 5.2 support - move on to php 5.3

All NoNumber! extensions require php 5.3+. As it says in the requirements list, you need php 5.3+.

This does not mean the extensions will definitely not work under php 5.2. But it does mean there is a good chance you'll come across problems. And that I can no longer offer support for setups still running on php 5.2.

Php.net has announced its end of support for php 5.2 some time ago. So php 5.2 is end-of-life!

Overwhelmed

I'd like to think that I am the non-geek in a geek environment.

Okay, I might wear glasses. I might spend most my day behind the computer. But who doesn’t. And yeah, I am the introvert type that prefers online contact to offline contact. But that doesn’t make me a geek or a nerd.
