you have to stop posting so many different threads, your pushing the threads that others have way down farther the more posts you make. It is not fair to the others. If you have multiple questions, especially ones as basic as these, you should combine them into one large post

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Deprecated: Used typically in reference to a computer language to mean a command or statement in the language that is going to be made invalid or obsolete in future versions.[/quote]

I can't think of a good reason to code using stuff that might well fail in the next release of the language. The flip side to it is that there's a definite downside to code that requires functionality that's only found in php_release-date_yesterday ... yes, you can install it on your test/local server but don't expect it to be the release that exists on a server where you're providing scripting for a client. A good web host will periodically upgrade to the latest stable release (quite different from the latest release).

If you look at the most frequent problems on this board, it would be those arising from expectations that register_globals was set to ON - true in the old, old versions and no longer so. That's a good indicator of why you should avoid using deprecated stuff.
