It would be better if it said something like this: > To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things: > > * PHP version 5.2.4 or greater (5.4 or greater recommended, '''using older PHP versions may expose your website to security vulnerabilities''') > * MySQL version 5.0 or greater (5.2 or greater recommended, '''using older MySQL versions may expose your website to security vulnerabilities''') That sound good? This should hopefully discourage new installs of outdated and insecure PHP versions.",enhancement,closed,normal,,General,fixed,,
