SimplePie Compatibility Test

Test Should Be What You Have
PHP¹ 4.3.0 or higher 7.0.33-84+0~20251218.106+debian12~1.gbpe01fd8
XML Enabled Disabled
PCRE² Enabled Enabled
cURL Enabled Disabled
Zlib Enabled Enabled
mbstring Enabled Disabled
iconv Enabled Enabled

What does this mean?

  1. PHP: You are running a supported version of PHP. No problems here.
  2. XML: Your PHP installation doesn't support XML parsing. SimplePie is a no-go at the moment.

Bottom Line: We're sorry…

Your webhost does not support the minimum requirements for SimplePie. It may be a good idea to contact your webhost, and ask them to install a more recent version of PHP as well as the xml, mbstring, iconv, curl, and zlib extensions.

¹ — SimplePie 2 will not support PHP 4.x. The core PHP team has discontinued PHP 4.x patches and support. Read the announcement.

² — Some recent versions of the PCRE (PERL-Compatible Regular Expression) engine compiled into PHP have been buggy, and are the source of PHP segmentation faults (e.g. crashes) which cause random things like blank, white screens. Check the Support Forums for the latest information on patches and ongoing fixes.
