I think Worpdress.org is confused. I just got off the phone with bluehost.com and they use PHP 5.2.17 just fine with WP 3.2.1
Why does ww.wp.xz.cn claim that PHP 5.2.4 or greater is required when it’s really not?
I don’t have time to play games with 1and1.com anymore, so I’m going to signup with bluehost.com today unless someone has a brighter idea…
By checking this post:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/php-version-1?replies=18
I can see the confusion here: the numbering of the version. If you follow their “tweaked” logic the 5.2.17 came “13” versions later than the 5.2.4.
PHP 5.2.17 is newer than 5.2.4 because 17 is bigger than 4. Many people get confused by this.

That’s great, but can anyone shed some light on the CHRONIC fatal errors involving list-table.php that I am experiencing with WP 3.1 and 3.2 described above in the original post??
Hi ggandg,
I think the problem has nothing to do with the version of php you are running. The error is directly related to coding. If you notice it appears you have an undefined class in your code and that is causing the error. I would reset all the plugins (disable them) and change to the default theme. Then check your site… If this does not resolve this, then open the offending file and look at the line of code referenced. Back trace the code until you find out whats missing.
If you’re having trouble with this, then you may want to take the list-table.php file from another installation and insert it. See if that corrects the issue.
I hope this helps!

Thanks Tim, but I’ve done about a dozens fresh installs with various versions, re-downloaded 3.2.1 entirely, renamed the plugin directory, replaced list-table.php with earlier versions for WP 3.2.1 and later versions for 3.1.x
Nothing works and again, this error occurs out of the starting gate without any possible plugin or hack issues.
Why in the world is list-table.php unable to return the classes that are clearly defined in it’s own code? See the relevant lines from list-table.php below…
19 function _get_list_table( $class ) {
20 $core_classes = array(
21 //Site Admin
22 ‘WP_Posts_List_Table’ => ‘posts’,
23 ‘WP_Media_List_Table’ => ‘media’,
24 ‘WP_Terms_List_Table’ => ‘terms’,
25 ‘WP_Users_List_Table’ => ‘users’,
26 ‘WP_Comments_List_Table’ => ‘comments’,
27 ‘WP_Post_Comments_List_Table’ => ‘comments’,
28 ‘WP_Links_List_Table’ => ‘links’,
29 ‘WP_Plugin_Install_List_Table’ => ‘plugin-install’,
30 ‘WP_Themes_List_Table’ => ‘themes’,
31 ‘WP_Theme_Install_List_Table’ => ‘theme-install’,
32 ‘WP_Plugins_List_Table’ => ‘plugins’,
33 // Network Admin
34 ‘WP_MS_Sites_List_Table’ => ‘ms-sites’,
35 ‘WP_MS_Users_List_Table’ => ‘ms-users’,
36 ‘WP_MS_Themes_List_Table’ => ‘ms-themes’,
37 );
38
39 if ( isset( $core_classes[ $class ] ) ) {
40 require_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/class-wp-‘ . $core_classes[ $class ] . ‘-list-table.php’ );
41 return new $class;
42 }
43
44 return false;
45 }
have you got any plugins or any themes? I believed it’s definitely with the coding and not the version.
Disable all your plugins or set to default theme and see what happens.

Richard,
Again, this fatal error is right out of the gate on a fresh 3.2.1 install, fresh database, no plugins, etc. I’m still battling this nagging problem.
What blows my mind is I just did a successful auto update from 2.8.2 to 3.2.1 with one site, yet cannot do a fresh 3.2.1 install on the same hosting account without this chronic fatal error rearing its ugly head.

Not to bore you but I just manually copied the entire auto upgraded 3.2.1 site into another directory, updated the config with new info and presto, a new 3.2.1 website- but I still can’t do a 3.2.1 install from scratch without getting the aforementioned fatal error, no matter what I do!
Are these all 1and1 hosted sites? Terrible security!
