Quite a lot has changed between PHP 4.3.x and 5.0.x. Apparently, things like classes are totally different. The classes in PHP 5 more closely resemble Java than the ones in PHP 4. AFAIK the changes broke quite a few applications, and so PHP 5 isn't very backward compatable in that regard. Having said that... is it possible to install both PHP4 and PHP5 simultaneously? I'd like to tinker with PHP5, but I don't want to sacrifice PHP4 in the process. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Stuart Longland -oOo- http://stuartl.longlandclan.hopto.org | | Atomic Linux Project -oOo- http://atomicl.berlios.de | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | | I haven't lost my mind - it's backed up on a tape somewhere | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ --------------enigA4AC3D0F9AE29A71E0564303 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCaOuAuarJ1mMmSrkRAqHkAKCTz7Q5v+fU0hrNLh5isqWGvs0bVACfXf26 OusHu6m1O63b1/WlusZmbRg= =l2c6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigA4AC3D0F9AE29A71E0564303-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
