In my opinion, it's the choice of the developer to build the applications carefully and correct so they're compatible with future releases of related software. Do you have the same opinion? KC, the same apps would theoretically work the same in PHP5 and in 4.

In my opinion, it’s the choice of the developer to build the applications carefully and correct so they’re compatible with future releases of related software.

Do you have the same opinion?

At the end of the day, nobody wants to be hacked, and at happens all day long to web-hosts. With over 70% of successful server 'hackings' originating from the exploitation of scripts such as PHP Forum or Blog Software, the only thing Web Host are concerned about is security: It keeps our investments in equipment safe, and helps maintain a quality (stable) service to our clients. PHP5 empowers those clients of ours who are developers wanting to use the latest coding. Not only is that a great reason for us to run PHP5, but our decision to upgrade was really based on security - Which is really what it comes down to. 9 out of 10 of PHP Security Modules and Security Kernels are now being built and updated with PHP5 in mind, not 4. Thanks for the great shows - Keep up the great work! Mark A. Mutti PhireFast Web-Hosting Hi Mitch!
