Hi ajarstring,
You may download the latest version of "ChartDirector for PHP" for your operating system
from our web site and use it to replace your existing version. For example, if you are using
PHP on 32-bit Linux (i386/i686), please download "ChartDirector for PHP for Linux
(i386/i686). If you are uisng PHP on 64-bit Linux (x86_64), please download "ChartDirector
for PHP for Linux (x86_64).
Like many open source software, PHP is not backwards binary compatible. It means any PHP
extension (which is a dynamic library or shared object) that works with PHP 5.3 will not
work with PHP 5.4. The extension has to be recompiled for PHP 5.4. It implies if the PHP
extension was downloaded before PHP 5.4 exists, it cannot possibly work with PHP 5.4.
Zend (the company that develops PHP) only include some common PHP extensions (like
MySQL drivers) in the PHP distribution. All third party PHP extensions, such as ChartDirector,
would need to be upgraded when the PHP is upgraded.
Personally, I think the ideal solution is for PHP to maintain backwards binary compatibility,
but in real life, most open source scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python) are not backwards
binary compatible.
For ChartDirector, we are committed to support the latest PHP version and all PHP versions
released within the past 10 years.
