Mistat2000 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Bonjour Amigo's! I have just taken over some old php sites which all run php 4.2.3 and want to upgrade to at least 4.3.4, now would it be a simple upgrade or is it more complicated than that? Could I upgrade to the most up to date version of php without any problems? Really need some help with this as I want to install some apps that require a higher version of php! Cheers Mista T 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Your scripts should still work fine if you upgrade PHP to the latest version of PHP4. Keep a backup copy of your current PHP configuration (php.ini) before upgrading. Once PHP is upgraded replace the new php.ini with your old version. Your PHP setup should now be the same (before the upgrade) and your scripts should still work. NOTE: Before upgrading PHP make sure you remove all existing PHP related libraries/files (.dll or .so files) from your hard drive. This will help to minimise problems when installing a newer version of PHP. If your scripts fail to work then you will need to get down and dirty to sort out the problems. There shouldn't be too much work involved though. Depends on the size of the script and how it was coded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
