Description

Suggested message if PHP5 is not detected:

TikiWiki 3.0 requires PHP 5.x

Your currently detected PHP version is: (versionnumber)

Please contact your web host to request an upgrade. If there is no way you can have PHP 5.x, please use Tiki 2.x instead. Some features in Tiki 2.x, such as profiles and TikiTests require PHP5, but all the other hundreds of features work perfectly with PHP 4.1+

(9:59:42 AM) marclaporte: turning on TikiTests crashed by site :
(9:59:42 AM) marclaporte: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/profiles/public_html/tiki_tests/tikitestslib.php on line 59
(9:59:53 AM) marclaporte: I suspect because I don't have php5

Solution

branches/3.0 is now better.

index.php redirects to tiki-install.php and you get the PHP5

(Note: This redirection is made for every php script that includes tiki-setup.php, so we can consider that it's done in nearly every places and that should be enough)
