PHP4 end of life announcemen - GoFuckYourself.com

Figured i'd post this here as a ton of you are still on php4. For all you "don't fix it if its not broken" people, its time to upgrade soon.
---

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

I was reading that the other day, and all I can say is that as long as scripts are calling for PHP4, it will be another 3 years before PHP5 is the norm.

I am seriously fucked. I still have a bunch of websites running with really, really, really old code. Haven't even touched them in years, but they still make me money.

Eventually, the servers they're on will be upgraded to php 5, and I'll either have to rewrite most of the old code, or move the sites to a private server with old software.

Dammit :\

That, and most hosting companies will wait until their users are practically begging them to upgrade, and then make them beg some more.

It's about time really... php5 will greatly improve many sites as they're forced to upgrade.
They don't see it now but it'll only make things better.
