Thread:Project:Support desk/Use the Validator extension in MediaWiki 1.19/reply (2)

And as SemanticMediaWiki 1.9 requires PHP 5.3, this wouldn't be a real solution either.

You so have three solutions:
 * someone accepts to create a patch resolving a bug not anymore in the Validator extension code;
 * make your provider aware MediaWiki current development use PHP 5.3 and not PHP 5.2;
 * move to another provider.
