I've tried PHP 5.5.0, had to go back to PHP 4.4.9 due to issues with deleting and moving pages in MediaWiki.

Is there a bug filed for this. If not please do so. MediaWiki should be compatible with newer PHP versions. *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2016 Major in Computer Science _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

We need more details. Which version of MediaWiki do you use ? I never encountered any problems with the latest PHP versions 5.5.0...5.5.7 and latest MediaWiki core. If you compile PHP from its sources, then the following "configure" works well: ./configure --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share/php --mandir=/usr/share/man --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --sysconfdir=/etc --with-libdir=lib64 --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2-prefork --with-openssl --with-bz2 --with-zlib --with-curl --with-ldap --with-mysql --with-mysqli=mysqlnd --with-pdo-mysql --enable-mbstring --with-xsl --enable-calendar --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64 --with-png-dir=/usr/lib64 --with-iconv --with-pspell --with-gmp --with-mcrypt --enable-zip --enable-bcmath make make install

I submitted a bug report describing the problem in more details on the Wikimedia Bugzilla, but short version is that when deleting or moving multiple pages at once, I experienced severe server lag and timeouts, and the job queue seemed to process the requests in PHP very slowly in PHP 5.5.0. I rolled back to 5.4, and it's working fine. More details can be found on the bug report I submitted on Bugzilla.
