Hi everybody, which version of PHP is provided within SLES 12? As far as I understood there is no supported way to update to versions newer than 5.3 on SLES 11 SP3, so I am investigating if upgrading to SLES 12 will install PHP 5.4 or newer. I have downloaded SLES 12 isos but I did not find any PHP .rpm in them…

I believe you need to add the web and scripting modules: [https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/book\_sle\_deployment/data/sec\_add-ons\_extensions.html](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/book_sle_deployment/data/sec_add-ons_extensions.html)

Correct. That will then give you access to PHP 5.5.14.
