vB and PHP 5.6

[Prince]

I know that vBulletin 4.2.3 runs on PHP and MySql 5.6, my question is will it able to run on and higher versions of PHP/Mysql, and if not will vB create an update? :up:

If you want to use PHP 7.x, then you'll need to upgrade to vB 4.2.5 Beta 1. That's what I'm running on my local dev site:

ok cool, just making sure there is an update! :up:
btw, why is there no PHP 6?

Because PHP 6 development stopped and they skipped it. They went straight to PHP 7 that provides a huge performance boost.
