Must be the same reason why we are all still using DOS since some of the best games just refuse to run on WinXP !? Noo... There are a whole lot of new scripts that don't work with PHP4 so I guess chances are the problem is already bigger in this direction (PHP5 code not running on PHP4) than in the other. The provider arguments are FALSE! If they don't want to break old scripts they can easily deploy both PHP4 and PHP5 as parallel installation, either one of them as CGI or by using two Apache servers and a proxy. The real arguemnts for the providers are a) They are too lazy to do this b) Two PHP versions in parallel might need more computing power which they refuse to invest for AllOLLi ____________ The answer is 42.
