I'm just getting into PHP and was wondering if there are any security issues with migrating PHP4 code to PHP5. My company does some work for bank websites and is currently using PHP4. If we moved to PHP5 would it be any less secure. As you can imagine security is a HUGE concern with banks.
Thanks in advance!
PHP4 vs PHP5 Security

I don't think security would be much of an issue, but PHP4 and PHP5 are syntactically different... especially when it comes to classes and Object-Oriented Programming. Your PHP4 code may not be compatible with PHP5. Look here:
