ProwlPHP - The PHP client library for Prowl

Introduction

This client library is written in PHP and demands version 5.3 or higher. Prowl is a push-message service for iOS devices like iPhone and iPad. You can get more information about Prowl on http://www.prowlapp.com.

PHP 5.3? What about 5.2 or 4.x?

For the guys and gals that still use PHP 4.x ... get lost. Get PHP 5 and come back. I know that some enterprise setups cannot migrate to PHP 5 for some reason, but you are too few for supporting them in my spare time. PHP 5.2's lifetime ended in dec. 2010. See this pressrelease from php.net at http://www.php.net/archive/2010.php#id2010-12-16-1 for more information. PHP had (and still has) a huge problem with supporting older versions. Many people out there still use PHP 4, 5.0 and 5.1 and many hoster and open source projects are not willing to kick old versions from their servers or support. This makes PHP's evolution slow down and I do not want to keep up with that silly tradition. If you need to use 5.2, have a look at the 0.3.3 branch of this repository. It contains the last commit of the PHP 5.2 version of this lib.
