Hi, last update for PHP 5.2 branch was in january 2011. So there was no security update of 5.2 for more than a year.
PHP 5.3 is now more than 2.5 years old and part of nearly every linux distribution, including Debian stable. I would propose to require PHP >= 5.3 for the future, though I'm not a dev. :-) Greets, Henning Am Samstag, 3.
