Similar thing could be achieved with new assert() w/o any overheads.

assert('version_compare(PHP_VERSION, "5.5.0", ">=")', 'You need PHP 5.5.0
or later');


I'm confused, isn't this exactly how assert() already works? What needs to change, for this example in particular?

Here it is running on several versions, giving a Warning by default: http://3v4l.org/TrBJm
And here it is without the second parameter, which in itself requires PHP 5.3: http://3v4l.org/mcQI6

It's slightly confusing that assertions issue a Warning even with ASSERT_BAIL turned on, but with that turned on (which can be at the ini level) you can see that it aborts the script as desired: http://3v4l.org/QZLog
