Quantal (12.10) PHP 5.4 downgrade to 5.3

Thanks! Very useful! But if I want to reinstall the last version? Can I remove all the files in /etc/apt/preferences.d/php5_3, remove the sourcelist entry and then update?


is it enough?

Thank you so much !

Thanks OP!

Thanks. Great job

Thank you so much!

PHP downgrade works like expected, but phpunit is broken

phpunit -v
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method PHP_CodeCoverage_Filter::getInstance() in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 39


Resolved by:
sudo pear channel-update pear.phpunit.de
sudo pear install phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage
sudo pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

just for the record!

Clicking my heels and saluting you. This worked like a charm and saved the day. An upgrade to 12.10 automatically upgraded php, rendering one of our third party software useless. This downgrade script helped us a lot.

Theres a lot of software using, for example, allow_call_time_pass_reference directive, and it doesn't work on php 5.4 ...

You won a beer fox202 :mrgreen:

I had to do the downgrade which seemed to work ok. The problem now however is that I need to install the IMAP module for PHP as reference by my posting here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2088213

I cannot figure out what I must do to get this module installed. Thanks

Thank you so much...
I couldn't install Magento on my PHP 5.4.
Now it works perfectly!
