I am little bit new to this but when you do that would it mean that mw
wouldn't run on that or it would only show a warning to user that their php
is older than required, which user could skip? if there was that
possiblity, I see no problem with that. php is freeware so upgrade
shouldn't be problem for anyone

Hello,
PHP 5.2.6 and earlier have a bugs that prevents us from appending text
to php://stdout . See [PHP 45303].
We need to open php:// file descriptors in append mode (a) when running
the web installer or we have a nice error caused by the output buffer
being reset [BUG 31822] fixed by [r101644].
By bumping our PHP version requirement to 5.2.7 we no more have that
buffer reset issue. Maintenance scripts will throw a warning though [BUG
32325] [BUG 32263].
Debian stable provides PHP 5.3.3.
I am pretty sure Mac OS X 10.6 provide a PHP version after 5.2.6.
1.17 bumped requirement to PHP 5.2.3
Can we bump it again for 1.18 ?
