I am going to move to php 5.6 and there will be som changes in kiwitrees to run there: https://github.com/zendframework/zf1/pull/347/files#r14075423

I changed the format.php in Zend but still have a few issue. Can you help?

No I’m afraid I can’t. 5.6 is still far too new to consider for a stable product like kiwitrees. 5.6 was only released in August this year. I won’t be doing any testing on that for probably 12 months. One of the reasons for abandoning webtrees was to avoid forcing users to upgrade PHP too soon.

I have fixed a couple of minor issues to allow kiwitrees to work ok with PHP 5.5 but that’s as far as I will be going for now. I am not aware of any important benefits from upgrading to 5.6, or 5.5 for that matter.

Of course if you find any issues and care to tell me what needs changing, and that those changes do not prevent users of PHP 5.3 from still using kiwitrees then I will be happy to include them.

If you have found an incompatibility between php5.6 and Zend, then that is another reason not to upgrade. I would wait until Zend publish an update to fix whatever problem that might be. I will never modify Zend files in the kiwitrees package except by using a completely new version.

In the format.php it has a “if using 5.6 then” So it will not force any to upgrade to higher php version. I do think there is a complete zend version – updated at 2014-sept!

You’ll have to let me know if it works. I don’t plan on installing PHP 5.6 to test it.

If your going to use 5.6 you’ll have to fix any issues yourself for at least a year. Sorry, but it’s not anywhere on my list of useful to things to spend time on.

It will not work without editing in controller and auth. I am not clever enough to do that. It is okay – I just have to move from php 5.3 no matter what since other applications are no longer supported and if I want a supported version I need to upgrade to another php version. I just need to figure out how I do this 🙁
