Not me, not anymore. I bought my VPS so I could move away from a PHP 4 server.. and to be honest it's an extra £10 a month but it's so worth it.
I think software developers should really start kicking the license holders' asses to get their software updated for PHP 5. I just hope adoption rates aren't as crap as IE6 -> IE7/Firefox... __________________________________ |

Well to be honest. I don't know how much difference this will make to me. Seeing as I no little to no PHP. Although I do run a freeware photoblog script which I hope isn't effected by this. Oh god I'm going to panic and end up remaking my site YET AGAIN!

No need to panic really, since PHP5 mostly builds upon PHP4 and nothing is removed - so most PHP4 script builders can enjoy the fact that the guys at PHP have built PHP5 with backwards compatibility in mind. However, a few things are moved and rearranged, but none that I'm aware of will affect a simple photoblog script. In fact, I've developed most of Limev2 to be portable between both PHP 4 and 5 - recently I moved it over to V5 and there were no problems whatsoever, so really there's nothing to worry about - just plenty to anticipate. In all fairness the people whose scripts are breaking in version 5 environments have only themselves to blame for coding bad PHP. Even software like Modernbill has problems with version 5, which is one of the reasons why my shared hosting environment never got upgraded. Stuff like incorrect usage of referencing, heavy use on register_globals and ignorance of portability are mostly the reasons why stuff breaks. __________________________________ |

I'm really hoping none of my web applications will be faulty. x(
I think I'm going to request an upgrade, if that's possible. __________________________________ |

i set up a server the other day on my computer (wiped the disk and did a fresh install of OS X Server) it has php4 but i will upgrade it when i get a chance.
EDIT: After a lot of trial and error (actually i was just being stupid) i got it upgraded. __________________________________ |

My website runs on PHP4 but my local server runs on PHP5.
I don't really notice a difference, anyone know any new functions? __________________________________ |

I'm running PHP 5 on my localhost, and my host is still running PHP 4. I'm pretty sure you can request an upgrade though.

The whole idea of a new OOP interface makes me fear I'll need to recode my current project now, as it's written in complete OOP. I'll wait until the next recode, I guess. __________________________________ |

Well, i certanly use PHP5, but i dont find using OOP in PHP very productive, i mean, you can get fair encapsultaion by including files, and well, at least you are making PHPBB4 you wont need much OOP if you are organized.
The other day i was working and i got to add some functions and fixes to a website which was pretty short but it used too much OOP, much more code than they needed, and it wasnt easy to read nor use but well...Thats why i prefer C to C++, hehe anyways, sometimes is useful, and its nice to use it. PHP5 has nice functions and as long as my old PHP4 files compile, i dont have any problem :] __________________________________ |
