[PHP3] Is php4 ready for production use?
Marc Ryan Ray
use only within my organization. If something goes wrong
because of php or anything it is not a big problem. But is
php4 ready for production use on websites that i only write
the programs for and do not maintain? I guess what i am
trying to ask is do you (the general population reading
this list) use php4 or php3. Some of the features of 4 are
nice and justify its use, but can i count on php4. I
understand that it is beta, but does that mean anything
these days when companies are releasing products before
they are ready anyway. So far i have had only good
experiences with php. Thanks for any help.

The question should have been, are your PHP applications ready for PHP 4?
The greatest problem is with incompatibilities. Some incompatibilities are
listed but others aren't. One fact is certain is that those
incompatibilities are meant to be and if you want to move to PHP 4, first
make sure your PHP programs are not affected by the incompatibilities.
Another issue is the the current state of PHP 4 is beta. That means that
there are incomplete features and bugs to be solved. I am not moving a
production site to PHP 4 until it is officially released as not beta. Even
then I will wait a while until some overlooked bugs are fixed.

Right. Personally I wouldn't take the risk of the temptation to move to
PHP 4 because I don't want to put up the pain to downgrade because of some
bugs that I was not aware that were there. Some people give on the
temptation to move, but it's their risk. Just be a little patient if you
have a critical sites online. While you wait, nothing stops you from try
PHP 4 offline and see how it goes. From my experiences I can tell you it
goes pretty fast.
