Re: Shall we leave PHP4 ??

Hi,

I believe there are many people which think PHP 4 is just enough for them. A
good example of this is the vulnerabilities in Content Management Systems
(Joomla / Mambo / PHPNuke / etc): the "regular Joe" won't apply new security
patchs if something bad doesn't happen, like "If ain't broken, don't fix
it". Also, a lot of people doesn't like to migrate versions, afraid of
broken code.

But, as some people already wrote, PHP4 support should end soon, as it
happened to PHP3 when PHP4 was stable.

Hey

I belive the development on php4 is mostly security concerns, or stability
issues.

And I agree, it's rather pointless to do development in php4. Supporting
legacy code is fine, but should be rewritten when one have the time to do
it.

Hello everyone, i would like to tell my concern in php

my concern is about php4 development, i think is not wise have php in 3
different version 4, 5, 6 in next year and each have different specific
capabilities.

why should keep php4 in production, if the reason is still lot of user
using it, then php will have 3 version in next year 4, 5, 6. at that
time the standard of web-developing will have ambiguity, developer use
php will confuse, not just developer actually, hosting provider also
will need to invest more to make their service at it best (to buy three
server for each php version).

IMHO migrating tips and trick is not efficient right now, if new version
of php4 still released, migrating efforts will rise exponentially at the
time php4 development is stop, so why don;t the php-group stop the
development of php4 now, while the effort is till in the level of
acceptance!!!


WE WANT FIVE!!!!
