Never Mind!
I set up a test site & put the following in the .htaccess file so it would use PHP 5.3.9
# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php
If I check the System Information in the Admin panel it shows PHP Version is 5.3.9 and everything is working correctly in the front end so it works on both PHP 5.2.17 & PHP 5.3.9 for me.
The test site using PHP 5.3.9 is here

should not have anything to do with admin tools, but who knows. :cheesy:
maybe it's been some weird glitch, but if it seems to work fine now, i think it will stay that way.
of course feel free to post back if it happens again.

Adrian,
I have a Joomla 2.5.0 site that is working on PHP 5.2.17 that uses Momentum here
http://www.motorsportsdevelopmentgroup. com (remove space)
When I upgrade to php 5.3 the RokGallery slide show on the Home page stops scrollling & I also have some formatting issues.
It is a live site so I changed it back to PHP 5.2.17
I will set up a test version of the site using PHP 5.3 & post the problem in a separate post in this forum but I have Joomla 2.5.0 working with PHP 5.2.17
Thanks very much.
I am tempted to just go for the 2.5 upgrade - after full backups of course - but I don't like loose ends.
My research has highlighted that there are plenty of cases where php 5.3 breaks Joomla. Actually it does not break Joomla per se, it is just that 5.3 has more error trapping and reporting which, unless you switch it to effectively "silent mode", generates what it thinks are deprecation errors all over the site display.
It can be switched off in php.ini, so I will be looking at that next and if it works I will push php and mySQL to the latest versions before the 2.5 upgrade. - www.ourultimatereality.com

I fixed the issue with my Joomla 1.x site and have now upgraded to php 5.3.9 and mySQL/mySQLi 5.2, so I should be good to go on the Joomla 2.5 upgrade in principle.
If anyone updates from php 5.29 to 5.3 and it breaks your Joomla site with deperecation output, you need to do the following statement update in php.ini:
Find:error_reporting(E_ALL);
Modified to:error_reporting(E_ALL ^E_DEPRECATED);
Note: you will need to re-start Apache for the update to take effect.
So should the RT Radiance Template and Extensions be ready to upgrade to Joomla 2.5 right now or should I really wait for them to have the official purple "Joomla 2.5" graphic against them?

Well since all my other updates had gone so well I went for the Joomla 2.5 upgrade.
I thought everything was working until I tested User Registration and Management.
In Mission Control I am seeing "COM_USERS_NOTES" to the right of the name in the "Name" column of User Manager.
Not really an issue.
But User Registration from the frontend seems to be broken. If I go to "Create an Account" and then add the new account details and click "Register", I get a white screen and the User is not created.
User account creation is crucial to my site - is this a bug or has the upgrade broken something?

- A white screen like that indicates that something has been broken by the upgrade.

I have discovered the issue - looks like a Joomla 2.5 bug.
The SEF "Unicode Aliases" caused the white screen. It all works now and I will report it as a Joomla 2.5 bug if necessary.
BTW - RokBridge seems to work great

- capitalized text like "COM_USERS_NOTES" means an untranslated language string. Nothing to worry about.
