php5 testing

Spurred on some by Mike Gifford I installed the php5 packages from dotdeb.org.

Here are the results of my initial test:

1.  The Story_base.class had one line that needed to check that an array was a 
    string or an array.  php5 throws a fatal error if a string is used as an array.  
    php4 did not.

2.  The calendar block ( or likely any block with dynamic titles) requires 
    compatibility mode on.  Changing the title to a text string allows
    the compatibility mode off.

3.  mmcache broke it all completely.  Don't know if it the packaging for php5 or 
    the use as a PECL module instead of Zend extension.  Didn't test any further.

Hope this helps some.
