anyone can share php.ini for php 5.2.10?xamp 1.7.2,i need to run php 5.2 since on php 5.3 there is deprecated error..

Why not install the XAMPP version that includes the php version you require then when all the script authors have finally caught up then simply install the lasted XAMPP version again?

Upgrading PHP has always had deprecated code issues from way back and it looks like it will continue into the foreseeable future.

Back versions of XAMPP can be obtained from the SourceForge Windows Archive

You can also download the appropriate version in a zip format and extract the files you require.

Alternatively contact the script's author and see if there is an upgrade to fix the deprecated code error message issue or are at least are contemplating a script update (or is there even an entry in the scripts configuration that will allow you to eliminate php error messages?) - XAMPP has, in the php.ini file, disabled this error message in 1.7.2 error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED.

I am not sure if it would be a good idea to simply use an older version php.ini on the latest version of php - others may be able to help with this observation.


This Advanced Forum Search has some useful comment from one of XAMPP For Windows developers.

because on 1.7.2 the apache version newer than 1.7.1a,you cannt just blindly run vulnerable old apache server on live server,
already disabled the error_reporting,the error still persist,i just asking user who might have php 5.2.10 ini for xamp 1.7.2 or else i will build apache and php from sratch lol

Download XAMPP 1.7.1, which contains Apache 2.2.11(I think) and PHP 5.2.8. It is a secure and stable release. XAMPP isn't intended on being used as a live server platform, so therefore I hope you have thoroughly researched possible vulnerabilities and fixed them. Otherwise, it won't matter what version of Apache you're running, a hacker will have a hayday on your server.

What you're talking about doing by reverting and crossing a version of PHP XAMPP wasn't designed for poses a greater security risk than using an older setup, especially if you don't know what your doing. (Which if you did, you'd know better than to attempt doing what you're talking about doing.)
