Not in this case. Old PHP 4 code (regarding constructors) works through all PHP 5.x - New PHP 5 code has been working for the last 6 or 7 years worth of PHP releases and will continue to work. Code which has duplicate constructors (or one calling the other) will work on both platforms (only regarding constructors). +1 for the change even though or because it will separate some of the PEAR heritage from modern platforms if unchanged/unmaintained. -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer Tel.: +49-170-6381563 Mail: l...@b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537
