PHP 5.2.x is still the default on all servers and will remain as such for the immediate future. A separate announcement will be made when we decide to make 5.3.x the default.
PHP 5.3.3 is now available on all servers and is configured for .php53 files. If you want other file extensions to use PHP 5.3 you'll need to modify your domain's .htaccess file. For example, if you wanted to execute .php files using PHP 5.3 instead of PHP 5.2 you would add the following to your .htaccess file:
While many scripts are now compatible with PHP 5.3, not all of them are. This is especially true if you're running an older version of a script which hasn't been updated. We highly recommend that you make sure that all of your scripts are working under PHP 5.3 as soon as possible so that you are ready for the migration away from PHP 5.2 when the time comes. Modifying your .htaccess file to switch your domains to PHP 5.3 is a fairly quick and easy way to test compatibility. You can then switch back to PHP 5.2 while you work out any bugs.
Please be advised that PHP 5.3 does not currently have Zend Optimizer support as it is still not available as a standalone extension. The ionCube loader is available as an alternative.
