[PHPiCalendar-DEV] Globals and older versions of php

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I believe that the globals used in the new version were introduced in 
php 4.1

see: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php

I guess a question is how many users are using versions before 4.1 and 
also want to use phpicalendar 2.0 instead of 1.x?  Will restoring the 
code in init.inc.php actually keep compatibility with the older 
versions, or are there other features that will break?  Chad?
