 * PHP_VERSION_ID is defined as a number, where the higher the number
 * is, the newer a PHP version is used. It's defined as used in the above
 * expression:
 *
 * $version_id = $major_version * 10000 + $minor_version * 100 + $release_version;
 *
 * Now with PHP_VERSION_ID we can check for features this PHP version
 * may have, this doesn't require to use version_compare() everytime
 * you check if the current PHP version may not support a feature.
 *
 * For example, we may here define the PHP_*_VERSION constants thats
 * not available in versions prior to 5.2.7
