Build forge PHP support for 5.5.x and above - Qualys Guard scan fails on PHP 5.3.x

PHP 5.3.x buldled with Build forge 7.1.3 has security vulnerabilities as per Qualys Guard security scans.

We are unable to resolve the vulnerabilities by upgrading PHP libraries to 5.5.x as per the recommendation as they are not compatible with build forge.

This results in build forge exposing security vulnerabilities to secure networks where deployments/builds are performed potentially compromising the entire network infrastructure.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, aged or been delivered, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

    using this RFE to track update php files to support manual update to php 5.5 as updating to php 5.5 in BF would require dropping certain windows system platforms before they are end of serviced by microsoft.

    I expect after those operating systems are dropped by MS, we will update to a more current PHP.
