I've got this message too. I am using windows, but only on a local (wamp) installation. I will be moving to an apache server when the site goes live. But I'm a little worried about the php 5.3 requirement, as I was under the impression that it's not an official release yet. I know my server company doesn't support it, and they support everything!

Can you elaborate on this a little?

Sorry,since i got this error message, I did not install it on my live site, can't provide you with more detailed information; But it seems like a great module, as a lot of registered users of my site can not receive their emails with further instructions simply because they input an invalid email address.

Documentation update:

****************************************************
Drupal 6 Caution
Drupal 6 and PHP 5.3 will not work. If you must run an older version of PHP, please download an appropriate older version of Wampserver. You can find older versions of WAMP5 and WAMPSERVER2 on this page http://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/files/ . Just click on WAMP5 or WAMPSERVER2 for the complete file listings.

For example, Wampserver2.0h is running PHP 5.2.9-2 on a Windows Vista machine and Drupal 6 works fine.

You seem to be misunderstanding the problem. The problem isn't that we are running PHP 5.30 and the module isn't working, the problem is that we are running a lower version of PHP, and getting a message from this module telling us that the module requires PHP 5.30. So there is an obvious problem.

Actual version of Drupal is not fully compatible with PHP 5.3 so you must not use PHP 5.3 with Drupal until Drupal be ready to PHP 5.3.

Then, this module is not usefull at all due it uses PHP 5.3.

I don't understand why the page of module does not say anything about it.
