But googling I found this: http://www.nexen.net/chiffres_cles/phpversion/php_stats_evolution_for_november_2006.php So as of november 2006 the php5 adoption was slightly above 12%. Having the time passed since (and looking on the graphics - 8% per year), we can guess that now it is close to 20%. If this speed keeps constant in time even the 50% will be passed in years (probably 2)... So the php4 users must be encouraged (in the proper way ;) ) to migrate. End of the offtopic. I just want to rise again my question - do you think that php4->php6 migration will possible/popular? Is there a strong reason preventing this? So this gets back to the point to bind the php4 EOL date with php6 release cycle. Vesselin Kenashkov ------=_Part_98119_18881686.1183795247147--
