Screw ASP. I want ColdFusion.

I'd quit web development altogether if I had to use ColdFusion.

Curious - let's say I built my website in PHP 4, with the general functions; nothing really special.
Would the transition to PHP 5 be smooth? Or am I going to have to recode my site?
I'd be happy to switch to PHP 5, really.
edit: Actually, that's what google's for.

the transition really shouldn't be all that difficult unless you are using OOP, in which case it still won't be really ALL that difficult -- depending on how you wrote your code.

A lot of PHP5 is backwards compatible. The effect of the change should be minimal at worst.

PHP4 -> PHP5 should cause no problems unless you have some obscure PHP4-style hacks which you should probably be refactoring anyway.
PHP5 E_STRICT compliance takes a little bit more work.
