Prosequimur Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi everyone.I have just changed to a host which allows me to choose between PHP version 4 or 5. I am still learning my way through PHP as my first proper scripting language. Typically, I tend to learn how to do something when I need to - not a very good way, I know! I was trying a script and found that the command file_put_contents didn't work. After some research, I discovered it was a PHP 5 only command.I was wondering if one of you experienced coders could give me a quick low-down on the pros and cons of both versions. I am currently on PHP 5 (because I assume that the most recent version is the best) but lots of people seem to prefer sticking to PHP 4 - but I don't exactly know why! Could you give me the advantages etc of each and recommendation for which to use?Thanks a lot!

wildteen88 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 PHP4 and PHP5 are exactly the same. Except PHP5 has better OOP functionality and as you have already discovered has newer functions included. It is up to you which version however I would recommend PHP5.
