Barand Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 PHP 6 is hovering on the horizon but it seems that many developers still haven't moved to version 5 yet, probably because hosting company has failed to upgrade. So I was wondering how many are on which version. I use v5 mainly but still keep v4 on my server for use when still needed.

trq Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Ive never used 4, have always stuck to 5. I even had 6 running on a dev box a few months back but ended up removing it.

Daniel0 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I use PHP 5 as well. I don't see any reason to use PHP 4 when there is a newer and better version. Besides, PHP 4 will only be maintained until the end of this year.

kts Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I am not very familiar with the newer ways. I started in PHP3 and stopped and now I jumped into PHP5 and its a mess of difference. Lots of debugging for me now. But, it is a great source. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79894-php-version/#findComment-407576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
juapo2 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I use 5, because it has many more features, but i dont like very much to write as extension: .php5, i think it sounds better .php doesnt it?

Daniel0 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Did OOP in PHP come out in PHP5? If it did, I couldn't imagine using any lesser version.. PHP did have limited OOP support in version 4.

TheFilmGod Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I use 5 locally, but 4 is the main version on my servers with 5 available by using .php5 as the extension. I must get version 5 as the main install actually... sounds what I had with godaddy. They make you do that extension for php 5. You don't have to do any main install, all you do is change the .htaccess page. Hope that helps!
