Many modern and free CMS is based on PHP 5.3.X. Would be nice if would upgrade to this version or even we have the opportunity to choose between the php version in the control panel.

Which CMS are you trying to use that requires 5.3.x ? You say "many modern and free CMS" require it, however, most of the most popular and feature rich ones don't (or have a version or patch which allows you to use it on 5.2.x version, so maybe someone can offer you a better solution.

would be, but such upgrade is not planned.

Hello.

ImpressPages CMS - php 5.3.X (http://www.impresspages.org) - not require PDO Extension


Automne CMS , php 5.2.X (http://en.automne-cms.org/web/en) - this is good alternative , but needs some things;
64MB of memory for PHP scripts (depending on the number of installed PHP extensions: further extensions require more memory).
PHP PDO Extension installed with MySQL driver.
PHP CLI Module available on the server with "system" and "exec" functions to use background tasks.
PHP GD Extension GD (needed to works on images) with libraries JPEG, GIF and PNG.
PHP MbString Extension.
PHP "safe_mode" option disabled.
PHP installed as an Apache module (CGI version offers lower performance but works).
Zlib extension (allow HTML compression).
PHP "magic_quotes_gpc" option disabled.
Apache must have the right to create and edit all Automne files on the server to use automatic installation and update system. Without that, some parts of the installation and updates should be done manually.
An opcode PHP cache like APC or Zend optimizer is a plus for performance purposes.

( This 2 are drag&drop CMS).

Either one requires PDO extensions to be installed, which aren´t on free accounts. So upgrading PHP wouldn´t be enough

Thanks for the reply .

It's been a year now. Can we get the upgrade for 5.3?
Anchor CMS requires PHP 5.3 too.

There still are no plans to upgrade the PHP version for free accounts. Premium Hosting accounts have been upgraded to 5.3.10 already.
