People also run apache 1.x, mysql 3.x etc. There are still Linux 2.2 and 2.4 systems out there too. Besides, the migration path of php4-5 is not always easy - code may have to be rewritten, other code may not work at all etc. I have two applications that can only run on php 4.3.8 due to a regression of the setlocale() function in later versions. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
