Drupal and PHP

I've had a rocky relationship with blogging frameworks. I've had Wordpress vulerabilities exploited, and Drupal's upgrade process has always been tedious. So why bother? Because It's fun learning and comes in handy when I need to help other people setup a blog.

Anyway, one of my Drupal sites (ahem, this one) is still running on PHP5. I plan to fix that today. First thing I had to do was actually get it RUNNING on php5 because my host had upgraded their default PHP to 7.x recently. That part was pretty straight forward. I just needed to add the following to the custom .htaccess file:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php56 .php

If you use other file name extensions, be sure to include them on the AddHandler line.

Next for the upgrade...
