Since then, I've been pulling down random sites off our servers and testing them and fixing little gotchas. Out of the hundreds of sites we host there were only a few problems and once I figured out what those were it really became quite easy to fix the issues with find and replace techniques. Most of it was limited to my oop code. ;) So while I do understand this argument, it is pretty old and needs to just stop. Nobody was paying my company to upgrade and fix code that busted in the transition. It is just the nature of the business. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
