Manual talk:Update.php

mediawiki as library
Is update.php intended only to upgrade mediawiki core or to maintain update for specific extensions/ (like wikilog does) ?. I have installed wikis sharing the same svn codebase but with differents databases and sql schemas differs (myextensions/*). Any clue? Greudin 09:36, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

PHP Error
My Special Version Page says that I'm running php 5.3.6 and I am getting the following error when trying to run this script??

You are using PHP version 4.4.9 but MediaWiki needs PHP 5.2.3 or higher. ABORTING. Check if you have a newer php executable with a different name, such as php5.

Any ideas???

 * You run this old PHP version on the shell. Make sure that you run a current PHP version - also on the shell. --88.130.93.218 16:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Sometimes, the system uses the default PHP configured. What you can do is update the command so that it will point to the latest version of PHP installed on your machine.


 * The updated command would be /path_to_bin_folder_of_php/php update.php
 * Worked for me

In update.php : syntax error, unexpected '[' in line 170
When I try to execute it I have this error. Does anybody know why? Thanks
