Actually, I installed phplib from a tar package from the author's website. 
When I installed it, v 6.1 was the newest version.  All my customer's
websites are built against phplib 6.1.

I would very much like to upgrade the whole she-bang.  The issue, which
everyone seems to have missed, is that this is a _production server_.  I
host sites which my customers are paying me to keep online rock-solid and
unbroken.  If I intend to upgrade to php4, I need to know _very
specifically_ what I can expect to break in existing code so that can either
preempt any problems or fix them quickly if I get complaints that something
on someone's site has stopped working.
