Add PHP 5.5x to your stack options
My developer is asking me for a stack option using PHP 5.5x, it would be great this could be offered on ClicknGo platforms especially considering PHP is recommending 5.4 to be phased out: http://php.net/archive/2014.php#id2014-09-18-2

Default applications are launched with PHP 5.5 From Server Settings & Packages section you can now upgrade to 5.6 or downgrade to 5.4 ( plus upgrade mysql, replace it with mariadb and deploy redis).

The PCRE issue has been fixed in newly released PHP 5.5 packages. This is being deployed to all our servers, so this problem will be no more in the coming hours as soon as deployment has been completed to all servers.

Guys there is a bug in PHP version 5.5.25: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/issues/429
This generates problems in this like the CF7 WordPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-with-preg_match-email-validation?replies=3#post-7036330

This is going to happen very soon. You will have option to choose php 5.4, 5.5 or 5.6 Mysql 5.5, 5.6 or Mariadb 5.5, 10.0. Redis will be option also in the same way.

We are looking into it. Just wanted to say that there is absolutely no security issue. We use Debian stable (Wheezy) and Debian is well-known for its security stance and back-porting any patch if needed.
But as said, we are looking into options for people that want newer releases of PHP.

Supporting PHP 5.6 in addition to 5.5 would be even better.
