This would help people audit existing applications and encourage them to become compatible with php 5. This is turn (I hope) would then encourage hosting companies to start deploying php 5 and get out of the circle of them not updating to php 5 as apps arent compatible.. and apps not becoming compatible with php 5 as the hosting companies dont support it :-) Is this a crazy idea? Or is it even possible? I guess its not possible to garuantee 100% compatability but even 90 - 95% would be a start. Regards Mark ------=_Part_16042_23799421.1145088272336--
