Amen to that. I've had to fix many a site that had upgraded to 5, and
I wouldn't dare just update a server to 5 randomly. We're setting up
all new servers as 5, and letting our php4 users move to php 5 servers
when they're ready.
We only started using PHP after vers 5 came out. You mean a version
change didn't deprecate old functions rather than break them? Isn't PHP
open sourced? I'm surprised the community allowed that to happen or
that a fork didn't happen. With the built in testing, Rails shows
functions being deprecated in the next major version. Think this is
also a selling point to clients why a test suite is so important as part
of a project.
