This is the only issue I have had with PHP5:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6535282&forum_id=4570

Basically get_class() no longer returns a string with only lowercase 
characters. Simply use DB::isError in your own code, and make sure to 
update PEAR to have a functional isError. (the one i tried used is_a(), 
but that function still couldn't handle it) If nothing else helps, how 
about renaming all "DB_Error" to "db_error" such that all old tests 
still work?

What problems do you think phpBugTracker will have with MySQL 4.1? (and 
how is ADOdb related?) I assumed that using myqsli.php instead of 
mysql.php would take care of all API changes. The big bulk of old 
queries must still be valid. or.. ?
