There are at least 117,223 hosting companies that are still using PHP4. Unless they already have an upgrade project going, a single user is unlikely to convince them to start one. > Please let me know if I will find this an easy transition or should I > hold off for now. As a whole, I think you'll find the 4-5 transition easy. Possible issues: the xsl extension, which was changed from saxon to libxml, and the Mailparse extension also caused us some grief. We rewrote the code to use the new xsl stuff, and somehow we also managed to get Mailparse installed.

Lack of support is unlikely to have any effect. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
