In my opinion, it is very safe to go for PHP5 (it's been out for a long time now). Also, PHP5 has a lot of built-in functionality that you will definitely feel you're lacking in case you go for PHP4. And don't forget, PHP4 will be deprecated sooner or later (I'm sure the developers will not really like the idea of maintaining 3 PHP versions once PHP6 is released). All in all, PHP5 is a very wise choice at the moment. -- itoctopus - http://www.itoctopus.com ""Fernando Cosso"" <ferdemza@xxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:2aa086710704070658u4fbb6b30k9fa60c8f8f17852@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Hi > I know this topic has to be discussed several times but I have a situation I > need some advices. > > I am working in a small company.
