[Phpwebsite-developers] Older versions of phpws and php5 compatability

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

Hi all,

I have large number of phpws sites, many/most heavily customized, in  
various 0.10.x flavours. I may even have a couple of 0.9.x versions,  
but I think I have all of them up to 0.10.x. I want to start  
strategizing for getting php5 ready.

I know the current svn version of phpws is compliant, but  
unfortunately, the majority of these sites have too many  
customizations, in some cases even to core, in others, here there and  
everywhere in various mods like users and pagemaster and so on, to  
make a full upgrade in that manner. If I have to, I will, but it  
would be very, very painful ;-)

Is there any wisdom out there, as to what the bare minimum changes  
required to get a 0.10.1 or 0.10.2 site php5 ready? Is it really that  
many changes, or just a few scattered around?

Thanks for any advice,
verdon

ps. And I don't even want to talk about the dozen or so phpws 8.x  
sites on the server. Those cheapos are going to have to cough up or  
go somewhere else ;-)
