Migrating to PHP5

[Alexej Kubarev]

Hi... i wonder how many people are planning on migrating to PHP5 (if not done yet)... i think the similar topic was somewhere but i couldn't find it... and so i wanted to see the new answeres because php5 is production release already..

Until hosts start upgrading to php5, I will stick with php4 on my test server.

Okej... I've already upgraded my servers to PHP5... however got a compatibility mode with PHP4 on...

As far as im concerned: this will just speed up the server and class processing.. OOP is so nice... much better than in php4..

I've got it setup on my IIS config, but not my apache config - but at the minute just using apache one all the time. We'll have to see what happens with companies upgrading.

Hosts are allready migrating to php5

[Alexej Kubarev]

yes.. thats true..however it will take a long time untill 85% of them have migrated..

I know what need to do it, but I'm really not sure....

Will things like Invision Powerboard or other utilities that use php4 object oriented features still work in php5? from what I've seen things might not be backwards compatible.

[Alexej Kubarev]

they will as php5 has support for backwards compatibility with php4 applications

[sadisticmachine]

does that have to be activated for the entire server or can you have some applications running old php4 code and some running newer php5 syntaxes?

[Alexej Kubarev]

if you choose it activated then you can run both simultaniously
