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

Zester · 08-03-2008, 02:38 AM

hosting companies: which one of you still have PHP4 installed on your servers ?

PHP developers: how many of you still have (or write) codes written at the "PHP4 age" that won't use the new features on PHP5.x of even worse: won't work on PHP5.x ?

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

plus php5 has a lot of neat features.

Varius · 08-03-2008, 02:51 AM

My servers are all at 5.2.x right now.

WZRogeR · 08-03-2008, 04:10 AM

5.2.x only now

V_RocKs · 08-03-2008, 04:22 AM

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

facialfreak · 08-03-2008, 04:49 AM

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.

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

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.
