PHP 5.3 is the current version. It was released back in June of 2009! PHP 5.2 is no longer officially supported. It reached end of life back in January (I think).

I just saw that PHP 5.4 alpha 1 was released a few days ago.

If you encoded your scripts to run under 5.2 with Zend Optimizer, they will not run under 5.3 with Zend Guard. Why aren't more coders staying current? I'm not going to run a version of PHP that has reached EoL just so I can run your script. I've encountered two popular encoded scripts recently that won't run under PHP 5.3.

Seriously, is there some reason why these guys don't try to stay current? Are most of their customers too lazy or apathetic to upgrade?
