PHP5

Post by technics »

Hello, this is my first post so I am hoping you guys are helpful chaps here.

I have a few questions.

1) Has PHP5 been released formally yet? meaning do all server/hosts have PHP5 provisions already?

2) If PHP5 has been released, is it really OOP orientated? What is the best resource to learn PHP OOP?

3) I have a website that was programmed using PHP4; majority of it is a CMS. If the host decides to upgrade to PHP5 how will my site be affected? I have a self programmed forum, x number of pages that represent members and some information about them including pictures.



Thank you so much!!

Welcome.

1) no, that'll take a while yet.
2) it has the option to do a lot of OOP, just like 4, but with a bit more power.
3) you may have to adjust some parts, read this: http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration5.php


Moved to PHP - Code.

I found this article good on discussing some of the new more advanced OOP features in PHP5.
