Well, every version of every program have security issues, PHP 3 have security issues as well as PHP 4. Ask them for what specifics security problems are they talking about. William.

Hi, Consider yourself lucky - my hosting company is still using 3.0.16. Even though at least once a month I complain about this bitterly (the client has already paid several years in advance so moving is not in the cards). They tell me that there are major security issues with PHP version 4 and that's why they have not upgraded yet. My question is, if this is the case - why are there a great number of ISP's and individuals using version 4 if there are so many security issues? I can understand the point that alot of the hosting companies online management systems were all written in PHP3 - but you'd think they would keep their stuff on a separate server from client pages. It just makes it difficult when there are new and improved features that either cannot be utilized at all - or at least not without pages and pages of work arounds.

Yes, clients _do_ have to recode to get compatible with there systems.

Re: [PHP] is PHP4.0.3 on a commercial webserver Justifiable ?
You have made a jusification why they should stick with PHP 4.0.3, because they might have to re-code alot, and their clients might have to recode alot!. Also their admins may work on the principle that if it works why change.

[PHP] is PHP4.0.3 on a commercial webserver Justifiable ?
My Webhost, www.easily.co.uk wou.ld appear to be running PHP 4.0.3 even although PHP 4.1.1 is out. (www.jsa3d.co.uk/test.php) as you can see. I will be writing to them about this as I belive it is a factor leading to why i need to recode when going from my local server (php4.1.1 apache) to there systems. If someone would like to try and justify such an old version running I would like to hear your suggestions.
