What absolute fucking imbecile thought an upper limit of 6.0.0 would make sense for max supported PHP version on the entire Magento 1.9.3.X code base. Not to mention the installer is broken on account of them not fucking understanding InnoDB is default engine in MySQL.

Seriously Mage Rage is real.

My colleague was just ranting to me about Magento 1.9.x few minutes ago, I'm lucky I only signed for Mobile development + I don't know PHP

Seeing as you're not in the web development field then I'll enlighten you. There is no PHP Version 6.0.0 so why the fuck they would ever put this as an upper bound is beyond me. I wouldn't mind if it was capped at 5.6.0 the last version of PHP 5 but then came PHP 7 starting with 7.0.0 so it's just fucking inexcusable laziness.

@StyxOfDynamite Shit even that! Man we already are facing so many damn issues in their REST API and now this. I wish this thing just dispersal!

I coulda sworn it was MyISAM. Shows how much I know about MySQL.

@devios1 well the installer checks for InnoDb support using the defunct 'show variables like 'has_innodb' they fixed it in 1.7.2.X and then broke it and didn't back port the fix
