While there may be millions of servers running PHP, I doubt millions of users (PHP programmers) were the ones upgrading them. I'd be shocked, if _most_ PHP programmers have ever installed PHP themselves.
- ionfish 16y agoI imagine most PHP programmers have at least installed a package like XAMPP on their development machine, even if they haven't compiled their own PHP binary.
- wladimir 16y agoSure, if you compile it from source it's more unpleasant work, but normally I guess distributions take 'security' patches very seriously, and last time I had to install/upgrade PHP it was easy as Installing: > apt-get install php5-xxx Upgrading: > apt-get upgrade Now, boohoo, that's so much work those users are forced to do...
