jrap · 07-16-2006, 05:38 PM

isn't it free?

there are still scripts that are not updated for PHP5 - PHP5 is stable and works well, however, the rest of the world needs to catch up

most active open source projects shouldn't be a problem, it's the older less active ones, expecially those that use GD or Majik

$this->object(); :p

PHP5 is great, and it has an option to force php4 mode within the php.ini I believe.

Is php 5 better than php 4? I mean does it worth it?

it's worth writing all your scripts for PHP5 - but make sure if you run a server with php5 all your scripts are updated and ready for PHP5

I did the upgrade, it was okay. Some of my older scripts stop working, and the DOMXML functions are different. But I just wrote a quick migration script that I include with my php files to file those problems. PHP5 works fine with older verison of MySQL. But if you want SP and triggers, as well as views MySQL 5 is the way to go. Just give it till the end of summer to normalize a bit before making it the core of your livellyhood

It's a decission you have to make. php5 > php4 I mean, it's just a given - they wouldn't have made it php5 if it wasn't better than php4. The reason most people are afraid to switch is because all the major hosts won't switch yet. Though, the reason for that is because they have thousands and thousands of customers relying on their servers. So if some asshole on the $4.99 a month account is using some crap ass script which can't run on php5 the host would have to hear an ear full because they fucked up his site.

Now, if you're running your own server (which I would assume as you couldn't upgrade otherwise). Updating apache with w/e php version is a click of the button with almost every control panel software. So my question to you would be, is it that hard to click the button for php5 to see how it is? You can always click the button again to switch it back to php4.
