Hi Scott, What is the specific problem you're seeing? It might be a Quercus bug. PHP 5 should only be an extention of PHP 4, so all PHP 4 applications should work fine. It might be a bug in Quercus. Thanks for your response. I'm not familiar with PHP, so at this point unfortunately I

again i would say do all the experimentation w/ a mod-php5 box first. you may be able to push the original application developers saying something like, 'we put it on a mod-php5 box and it isnt running'. ask them if its supposed to run on mod-php5. as for the list of app frameworks that run on

Ok. There's a decent chance it's a Quercus bug, then. if the app doesnt run under mod-php5, how can you blame quercus? i mean what is the stance of quercus, is it supposed to emulate mod-php4 and mod-php5 or just mod-php5? -nathan On 6/14/07, Scott Ferguson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jun

I must confess I still don't understand why anyone would use anything other than MOD_PHP for PHP? Anyone who's not using Apache. In our case we're using Resin because we started out with a Java web application and Resin serves us well. Then, we need to add an application in PHP4, and if we

PHP4 is well supported/understood and is relatively easy to scale i agree w/ you on the understanding part, but its the scalability part that isnt so easy. most people think to just throw hardware at the problem, but what they dont realize is php, being a scripting language has some memory

There are scenarios where php4 code will not run on a php5 system. php5 has magic functions that are not defined in 4 (there could be collisions here), also there are new functions in the standard api that are new (possible collisions here) php5 defines object that are not defined in 4; like

Hi, I have a site using PHP4 that I would like to run under Resin, because I also have J2EE applications already running under Resin and would like to keep it all under one roof. I tried using Quercus but have run into problems. AFAICT, Quercus supports PHP5 and that may be causing the errors.

Hi Yong, Nathan, Thanks for your responses. Sure, ideally the site would move to PHP5 but I don't know if that's possible in the short term. Assuming that it's not, I was hoping for another possibility to get the site working under PHP4 within Resin. Any ideas? Thanks again! Fred On Tue, 12
