As you may have suspected,CDash 2.4 requires PHP >= 5.5.9.  Thanks for
pointing out that our documentation was out of date.  I just fixed this.

Looking here,
http://php.net/supported-versions.php

You can see that PHP 5.3 has not received security updates since 2014.

We recently confirmed that our whole test suite passes when using PHP 7, so
for the best performance that is the version I recommend.  If that's too
cutting edge for you, I recommend using the latest patch release of PHP 5.6.


The reason I am doing the update is the CDash 2.2.3 installation (with php

Strange.  Sorry to hear that you're having this problem.  Please feel free
to report back to the mailing list with more details if you can't figure
out what's causing this.
