From: stas@zend.com (Stanislav Malyshev) > So why keep supporting PHP 4 then? Because people still use it. Yes, I know it's circular argument, but I don't think we should break the circle just yet. I think the best would be to have phase out plan (which should be officially out - like on php.net etc. - ASAP) which would give enough time (like a year or more) for everybody to move. And I know year seems very long time, but for moving big project it isn't that long. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
