Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] PHP 4 end of life

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

 From a commercial standpoint as a hosting company, I don't see how  
I'll be supporting PHP4 much past the end of the year when main  
development ends and as such I've been asking some of my larger  
customers to make sure their applications are ready for PHP5. I've a  
spare testing server now and I've been gradually moving people.

I'd think that most hosting companies would be of a similar thinking  
rather than waiting for next August when security fixes stop.

I've maybe a dozen sites on phpWebSite 0.10.2 still which I'm  
gradually moving on to 0.11 (which is php5 compatible as far as my  
testing has gone). Most rely on phpWebSite 0.x features and modules  
so they aren't moving to 1.x. I should really pick up development  
pace on that but other projects are taking precedence.

I think it would be safe to make phpWebSite 1.x PHP5 only personally  
and I'd imagine the cleaner object model would make developing for it  
a lot easier. Recently I was looking through other php frameworks  
(CodeIgniter, Zend and Symfony) and came to the conclusion that php4  
support just wasn't worth it. I ended up with Symfony btw for that  
project. http://www.symfony-project.com
