Placing Pressure & PHP5
December 02nd, 2007
This month is the last month for PHP4.
This month is considered to be the final month that PHP4 will be "alive". After the 31st of this month, it will considered to be dead.
If you, as a user, or a server owner, do not have access to PHP5 yet, now is a time to put extremely strong pressure on the necessary parties. PHP5 has been stable for over three years. There is absolutely no excuse why you should not have access to PHP5 yet. As a consumer you have your rights, and you have the ability to pressure your host, or take your business elsewhere. If you only have access to PHP4, then there is going to be trouble down the road. I know personally I would not want to be forced to use a dead language, when something out there is better.
As a developer, this is perfect for me. I now get to take advantage of all of the great features present in PHP5, and not have to worry about backward compatibility. That is why Freelancer Panel 2.0 will have a new requirement of PHP5. This is even more reason to start adding more pressure to who you need to.
More information can be found at PHP.net
Remember, you have the ability to take action. Freelancer Panel 2.0 is still very far off, so you still have plenty of time, just thought everyone deserved a friendly reminder from a developer.
