Greetings, Is there a page on php.net detailing PHP's lifecycle or roadmap (not unlike this one: http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/lifecycle/)? If not, can one please be added?

There is no official lifecycle or roadmap for PHP... However, the rule of thumb is every minor release obsoletes any previous releases in that major release. For instance, 5.1.0 became obsolete after the 5.2.0 release as stated in the release announcement. PHP 4.4 is still supported, barely..

A page cataloguing the release dates of all PHP versions (including minor releases) would also be useful.

There is: http://php.net/releases -Hannes

Thanks, Karthik.
