    Default Any one using PHP 5?

    What are your views?

    Is it a waste of time or a must upgrade?

    Are the new features worth it, or they still lacking?

    I'm using 5. Not because I needed the latest and greatest, but the default mod_php4 that came with my Mandrake 9.2 install (4.3.3) didn't have sockets configured which would cripple my current project.

    You can find the new features here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration5.php

    I don't plan on using PHP 5 until I'm certain that ALL my scripts are compatible.

    there are a few incompatiblities but it's a wise upgrade: new class features, new mysqli features for mysql 4 up, and new functions such as file_put_contents. Upgrading isn't going to make what you have better, but your future programs with get to take advantage of the added functionality.

    i am currently downloading it for use on my apache server on my pc since i like to benchmark these things. i think that the major upgrades are in the xml field. my webserver is still on 4 and i don't mind. i can't wait to try it though. by the way my site is located at www.dematrix.net

    Thanks. These were the links I was using but the files were apparently not on the server at the time.
