Might I suggest you read the changelog next time you upgrade to a
newer version - it tells you important stuff like that.
The problem people will have is having to go through ALL the PHP5
changes when converting from PHP4.
Why is that a problem? I would have thought that that is automatic.
Surely you're not suggesting that people are upgrading from PHP4 to
PHP5 without exhaustive testing?

^ on ?
Most of my tags are the long type, justa very, very few that are not,
but I have turned short tag support on.
Also, this was not a planned upgrade. I run Slackware 9.0, PHP4 & MySQL4
on my server, Kubuntu on my workstations. Debian has dropped support for
MySQL 4. I needed to add mysql 4 to my workstation (to solve a server
problem) and found that the mysql4 binary was not compatible with the
debian packaged php5 so I had to remove that and install php5 from
source. Kind of a domino effect. I do much more reading and testing when
do a planned upgrade, I just didn't have the time this time.
Thanks,
Rick
