In addition to that, PHP5 also has: * improved XML support * improved OOP support and performance * some useful functions one would 'wish' you had while making stuff in PHP4
And simply: * to keep up2date with new techniques and developments * PHP4 is officially end of life and no longer being developed, only critical security fixes up to 08/2008 * after 08/2008 PHP4 won't even receive security fixes anymore, if I read the end of life announcement correctly Cheers, - Ramon. ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Knoblauch [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 8:36 PM To: Jesse Becker Cc: [email protected]; Ramon Bastiaans Subject: Re: [Ganglia-developers] Ganglia 3.1 wish list... ---- Original Message ---- > From: Jesse Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Ramon Bastiaans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: "[email protected]" > <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 7:53:20 PM > Subject: Re: [Ganglia-developers] Ganglia 3.1 wish list... > > On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 8:21 AM, Ramon Bastiaans > wrote: > > > * PHP5 as new requirement > > Are there any particular requirements to move to PHP5?
