The only decision we can make at this point, is whether to drop PHP 4.3 for Drupal 6. As you can see on [1], 40% of the users are still on PHP 4.3. Based on that data, I'd propose not to drop PHP 4.3 at this point. Would the facts change during the Drupal 6 development cycle, we can still decide to drop PHP 4.3 support.
Yeesh. I didn't realize how far behind hosts were in that regard. Any idea if it would be safe to require a later PHP 4.3.x (.9 or .10)? I would also note that does not preclude a safe-backport of selected PHP 5 functions a la PHP_Compat, as chx suggested. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
