[wp-hackers] How do I prevent activation of plugin is below PHP5?

[Raj]

Thanks for the response Piyush. Is there any value the activation hook
should return so that Wordpress doesn't mark the plugin activated in the
plugins list. Sure I can check if the version is below 5 using a eregi() and
phpversion() but how do I communicate to wordpress that the plugin should
not be marked as activated? If possible, anyway to make sure that the plugin
is not even available for activation?

make an activation hook to check version and keep an option or
something for activation. set that to 0 with the hook if php version
is less thn 5 for more thn 5 set it to 1 and use that as a check...
