It really depends on what version you have now.
I'd say the biggest thing to look out for is the register_globals, which is
now defaulted to "Off". This will break lots of sites!!! Turn it on unless
you want your phone to ring for days. Users should, however, be urged to get
used to coding with it off. It can be turned off on a per directory basis
using .htaccess.
I have not actually tried this but one of our users reported a problem with
setcookie. He was doing this:
setcookie('username', $username, "", $protected_dir);
The manual says you must use an integer for the expire argument and cannot
escape with an empty string so I'm surprised it ever worked at all, but he
says it did work before the upgrade. I had him switch to this:
setcookie('username', $username, 0, $protected_dir);
Other than that you might have some Redhat specific problems that I'm
unaware of. I don't see why you people put up with that rpm crap. :-)
