Any issues upgrading from PHP 4.2x to 4.3 ?

Hi,
I think I remember reading something about an option which is by default deactivated in PHP 4.3x but activated in PHP 4.2x and lower.

Is there anything that prevents scripts from running under 4.3x while they work under 4.2x or lower ?

This might be a strange question, but a provider has updated their PHP to 4.2.3 but forgot to install the PDF-Lib module. Unfortunately they cannot reinstall (or compile?) that version, they have only the new 4.3 version available (I don't know more details).

Should I be concerned about the upgrade to 4.3 or not ?

You should be OK, the problems generally happen when upgrades are made from 4.0.x to 4.1 or above because of register_globals:

You shouldn't have problems like that with 4.2 to 4.3.
