Yep, I agree that this is problematic for dropping support for PHP 4. I think that this is not likely to change until there's wider adoption for php 5 by the vendors who bundle LAMP with operating systems. Redhat ES 4 and Mac OSX still default ship with php 4 as the default install. My personal preference would be to hold off requiring PHP5, assuming our goal is to make drupal available to the masses :). I'm not opposed to people writing modules that require PHP 5, but I think realistically it will be hard to force this hand when the commercially supported OS's will not provide automatic updates for PHP 5. I've been frustrated by this for a while, and wonder why the big boys haven't moved in such a long time. Hmm... I wonder if it might not be good to ask this question on the drupal service providers list to see what impact it might have for those who host drupal sites? That being said my hosting vendor does provide php 5, as I do at the school I work for. Seems like we're close. On Mar 23, 2007, at 1:36 PM, Karoly Negyesi wrote:
