What does this mean?
- PHP: You are running an unsupported version of PHP. Full-Text RSS 3.5 will not work here.
Bottom Line: We're sorry…
Your webhost does not support the minimum requirements for Full-Text RSS 3.5. It may be a good idea to contact your webhost and point them to the results of this test. They may be able to enable/install the required components.
Alternatively, you can try one of our recommended hosts.
Further info
HTTP module
Full-Text RSS can make use of PHP's HTTP extension or curl_multi to make parallel HTTP requests when processing feeds. If neither are available, it will make sequential requests using file_get_contents.
curl_multi will be used on this server.
Alternative PHP Cache (APC/APCu)
Full-Text RSS can make use of APC's memory cache to store site config files (when requested for the first time). This is not required, but if available it may improve performance slightly by reducing disk access.
APC is not available on this server.
HTML parser
Full-Text RSS uses the fast libxml parser (the default PHP parser) but it can also make use of HTML5-PHP (an HTML5 parser written in PHP) if your version of PHP supports it. The latter might produce better results for some sites, especially if Tidy is not available on your server, however, it is slower than libxml.
You need at least PHP 5.3 to be able to use HTML5-PHP.
Language detection
Full-Text RSS can detect the language of each article processed. This occurs using Text_LanguageDetect or PHP-CLD (if available).
Text_LanguageDetect will be used on this server.
Automatic site config updates
Full-Text RSS can be configured to update its site config files (which determine how content should be extracted for certain sites) by downloading the latest set from our GitHub repository. This functionaility is not required, and can be done manually. To configure this to occur automatically, you will need zip support enabled in PHP - we make use of the ZipArchive class.
ZipArchive is not available on this server. To update the site config files you will need to do it manually by downloading the latest set and uploading it to your server.
This compatibility test has been borrowed (and slightly adapted) from the one supplied by SimplePie.org. We have kept most of their checks intact as we use SimplePie in our application.
