    Hello,

    I'm working on a plugin that I will share soon and I like to know how many are using php5?

    Let have a quick poll :)

    5.2.3

    For the record though, for greatest compatibility I'd target PHP4.

    But am planning to upgrade it - bit of pain as I have to compile from source

    I've had to do that 4 times since Thursday, narrowing down a bad extension/module. :(

    I kept finding I'd missed things. I've also spent quite a bit of time removing stuff from it that I don't think I need (or rather nothing I'm running needs it).

    Don't forget to strip it afterwards ;)

    Yea, I know. I need to upgrade, but just haven't found the right time yet. I'm not a server admin guru, so I always have to give myself about a month to fix all the problems I cause myself when I do a major upgrade of server software :-).

    PHP 4 end of life announcement
    [13-Jul-2007]

    Today it is exactly three years ago since PHP 5 has been released. In those three years it has seen many improvements over PHP 4. PHP 5 is fast, stable & production-ready and as PHP 6 is on the way, PHP 4 will be discontinued.

    The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5.
