Comment (by garrett-eclipse):
Thanks @marybaum I appreciate that, some great tweaks here.
I've updated the description in
[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/47644/47644.5.diff
47644.5.diff] to;
`'PHP is the programming language used to build and maintain WordPress.
Newer versions of PHP are faster and more secure, so staying up to date
will help your site’s overall performance and security. The minimum
recommended version of PHP is %s.'`
- I avoided 'developers' as WP sites can be built and maintained by anyone
- I avoided repeating 'faster and more secure' but do think 'help' is a
great improvement
- I avoided 'You should be running at least' simply because this is a
uniform description so installs that are at the latest and greatest will
still see it in the passed tests but then may get confused when it informs
them they should do something. Left as just informative as to what is the
minimum recommended version.
I didn't update the other labels as I don't believe we should use the word
'need' for recommendations. 'requires' is the strongest word I'd use here
as those versions won't be able to update due to WP requiring a higher
version of PHP. But need conveys their site will no longer function
without making this action.
