Community News: Responses to the Death of PHP4
The community has responded to the fact that PHP4 is officially “dead” with a few posts to their blogs. Here’s the list so far:
- Havard Eide – RIP PHP4
- Christian Wenz – PHP 4.4.9 Released (And Why You Should Be Worried If You Consider Installing It)
- Stefan Priebsch – PHP 4 is dead. An obituary
- Derick Rethans – RIP PHP4
- Sebastian Bergmann – KTHXBYE PHP 4
- Stefan Esser – PHP 4 – Requiescat in Pace
If you aren’t sure what they’re talking about – the last day for official PHP 4 support is today, 08.08.08. Only PHP 5 will be supported from here on. It is highly recommended that you upgrade your applications to run on the latest PHP 5 version, 5.2.x. Its always bad to see somethings go away. Well but changes are something that is permanent. This is my place where I pay my homages to the version 4 of PHP. PHP 5 has brought some revolutions with itself. Hope PHP grows as it has always!
