Summary: Incorrect version of PHP suuported

Initial Comment:
All the documentation says that Serendipity supports >= 4.1.2.

I am using 4.2.2 and it on loading the first page it reports:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_regenerate_id() in /var/www/html/serendipity/serendipity_config.inc.php on line 11

The PHP manual states that this function only came in at PHP 4 >= 4.3.2, PHP 5.


You must either raise the minimum PHP version or use an function_exists and create something that does the same job.

Hi! Thanksfor pointing this out! I believe the regenerate_id and sha1 only
were used in s9y 1.2 versions.But either way, raising the PHP4 dependency
should be the better way to go. PHP below 4.3.x is really considered
insecure in some ways, and thus we should give users another reason to get
their hoster to upgrade. :)

Adding BC-compatibility function code can't easily done for the
regenerate_id() call, because at that point our function layers are not yet
loaded.:(

Best regards,
Garvin

Similarly: sha1 which is PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PECL hash:1.1-1.3

I changed it to md5 instead which seemed to work - So far ;)
