never had problems with the stability of PHP5 in 10 years of running

PHP5 did not exist 10 years ago ;-)
OK coming on 8 years ... seems longer :)
I looked at PHP4, but PHP5 was at release candidate stage so I decided that I'd
skip straight to that. But I still had to learn PHP4 as people expected
backwards compatibility. My ISP 1and1 STILL list PHP4 as the default for virtual
hosting :(
Anyway, around 2001 it took me one year (not full time) to find out
there was a memory corruption in PHP. At that time I was using mod_php.
It crashed Apache.
YES I can get it to crash, but it has always told me why and
fixing the problem clears that up. I do have sites that become
unstable, but I have yet to find a situation where PHP was the
problem ...
when you have a bug in PHP it should not ever ever crash PHP and
unfortunately I encountered that case dozens of times.
At least on Linux is just recovers and carries on
The earlier windows stuff I had used to just crash the whole machine. PHP was
something of a refreshing change ...
I am behind you on getting what we have a lot better. Many thing have been
pushed in and then forgotten ... like PDO!
