PHP 5 compatible

Post by allelopath »

Currently, I have PHP 4.3.4, Apache 2.0.48, MySQL 4.0.18
If i move to PHP 5, is it compatible with the versions of Apache and MySQL i have?

What is the schedule for future PHP 5 releases?
I can't seem to find answers to these questions on php.net

I believe they are building PHP5 to be backwards compatible (script/function wise). I'm not sure about the server/database though. Maybe you should check up on their sites, and hopefully someone might have left some comments about the issue.

I'm actually not worried about whether PHP5 is backward compatible with previous versions of PHP because i haven't written any PHP that's been released yet.
