[wp-hackers] PHP 5.2 that WordPress 3.2 requires

[Franklin Tse]

The minimum PHP requirement of Joomla! 1.6 is 5.2.4, not 5.2.0:

http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=20913
http://docs.joomla.org/What's_new_in_Joomla_1.6

Not very sure why Joomla! requires .4 though.

Franklin
