how many of you are still using PHP4.x instead of PHP5.x ?

**rhcp011235** · 08-03-2008, 01:44 AM

I always try to keep my software up2date. Newer the better normally

plus php5 has a lot of neat features.

**Varius** · 08-03-2008, 01:51 AM

My servers are all at 5.2.x right now.

**WZRogeR** · 08-03-2008, 03:10 AM

5.2.x only now

**V_RocKs** · 08-03-2008, 03:22 AM

I use PHP 1.7
It has everything I need except MYSQL, cURL and a few other useless things.

Most of my servers are PHP 5.2.4 -- except for a couple dedicated clients who specifically asked NOT to be upgraded because the software they are using is not optimized for PHP5

I'll admit to that - got plenty of stuff lying around on my testbed which still uses variable names instead of $_POST['variable'], which means a lot of rewriting to do if I ever want to put that code into production.

Although I'm sure some PHPro will come in here and inform me that the reason for this wasn't the change from PHP 4 to 5, but because of less-than-stringent php.ini settings.

why is that ? backward compatibility ? too many programmers need 4.* ?

**fris** · 08-03-2008, 10:12 AM

We use the DirectAdmin control panel, that's what it comes with.

You would not believe how many hosting companies still install php4.

I think I only have one server left that's running 4, and it's about to be retired. I don't specifically code for 5+ but I did have to make some modifications when I installed it. This kind of thing works in 4, but gets stuck in an endless loop in 5:

$i = 0; while (isset($blah[$i])) $blah[$i] = trim($blah[$i++]);

(I know you can use array_walk, but I coded that before I'd heard of that function.)

i use directadmin and it can come with 4.4 and/or 5.2 also. anyway upgrading is very simple with custombuild.

how many of you are still using PHP4.x instead of PHP5.x ?
