Currently the default version of PHP on our server is PHP 4. On 6/10/08 the default PHP version will be switched over to PHP 5. Most scripts, especially those that have been kept updated, will work under PHP 5 without any problems.
You can test your scripts before this change occurs by adding this line to your .htaccess file:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
Adding this line to your .htaccess file will cause your PHP scripts to use PHP 5 instead of PHP 4. If you discover any problems with your scripts under PHP 5 then you will need to update them to the latest version that is available from the developers. If this does not resolve your problems then you will need to contact the script's developers for support.
Once this change occurs on 6/10/08 you will still be able to use PHP 4 by adding this line to your .htaccess file:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php4 .php
However, PHP 4 will be completely removed from all of our servers since it is no longer being updated. This removal will be announced at a later date and will occur no earlier than 13/10/08. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have all of your PHP scripts compatible for use under PHP 5 by that date.
If you have any questions or concerns please submit a ticket or post here on the forums.
