Terrifyingly, the headless body is still blundering around in webland, causing havoc. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but a "compelling web platform" is one that allows you to build what the customer asks you to build - nothing more, nothing less. It may not be pretty, but there we are.
- a huge number of "standard" web-hosters are still using PHP4,
sure, you get what you pay for ;P
Cristian, I'm not paying for it - the customers are. Who are you or I to decry people's decisions - we don't know on what basis they arrived at that decision. Do you never use something that you know will only last a year, but is so priced that it still represents good value for money? Presumably you don't - what a lucky (young?) fellow!
no, the answer is that PHP4 is obsolete, must not be used.
Well, you better start sending emails right now to all those web-hosters who are still offering it. :-)
feel free to package it yourself, i won't. sorry ( and I do know how, that 's the reason why I don't :) ) . and it will be back into the distribution over my dead smoking body ;-)
