why php6 and not php5? look how long it took to get to php4 (with php5
just starting to rolling out) and people are already talking about php6?
My observation was that more people jumped to PHP4 from PHP3 than have
so far from PHP4 to PHP5. And PHP5 has hardly just started to roll out;
the official 5.0.0 release was over a year ago.
sure it is just a 'versioning' thing, but right now huge numbers of php
users aren't using php5 (including me) on production environments, let
alone start talking about php 6.
And why aren't you using PHP5? Is there any specific reason? Is it
because your service provider doesn't offer it? If so, ask them why --
and report it here. As soon as PHP5 hit stable, I started using it, and
I've never looked back. Performance is better, and there are many
features -- exceptions, the new OOP model, autoload, iterators, etc. --
that simply have no analogs in PHP4.
anyway, i think i will be with php4 for a long time to come.
Please tell the list why -- what does PHP4 offer over PHP5 for you? I
honestly want to know, and I'm sure there are others who would be
interested to see why people are not making the switch
i spent hundreds of hours building my site on php4,
im not about to rewrite any of it to make it 'compatible' with php5.
maybe my impressions of php5 are wrong, but last i heard apps built on
php4 may or may not work right under php5
- meaning you would have to rewrite code. am i wrong?
so i am 'afraid' of going with php5 in fear it will break my website.
