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

[Verdon V. <ve...@ve...>]

I pretty much echo what Shaun says. My main server will be php4 for a  
while yet, but I'm not waiting til next August to migrate to php 5.  
It will be gradual this winter. I have a lot more 0.10.x sites to  
contend with (mostly heavily customized) and even a few 0.8.x sites.  
I may keep a php4 server up for a little while longer, for a few  
clients who refuse to upgrade and realize they will be moved to  an  
unsupported obsolete server.
