Hi,

are you sure the odds are (only) resulting from a different database
version? I am just lifting a PHP application from 4.0.x to 4.3.x and
that seems to need a big rewrite of a lot of code. Even a lift from
4.0.x to 4.1.x broke several modules, and I have not found all the
reasons yet. I have the same problem you have: The original developer
isn´t available any longer, and I have to update and fix that
application myself.

I used to be a PHP-user for a long time, but these problems with
different PHP versions have brought me back to the usage of Perl CGIs
with FastCGI. Never had any problems with that combination yet,
excellent speed, excellent stability, no release version related
problems. YMMV.

Regards,
