Backwards compatibility between PHP or MySQL versions is not the only problem. Most people (99.99% ?) order a web hosting plan, a domain name and install their "cool" application in minutes but expect it to run for 3, 4, 5 years or more with no maintenance at all (even no backups...), no security updates, no PHP/MySQL version upgrades, etc. IMHO, *care* (or heedlessness) is the biggest problem. Another problem is upstream developpers not releasing updated versions of their applications, but that's another story. But I may be wrong... -- Vincent --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
