Re: [PHP-DEV] Compatibility problems with PHP 5

[Alan Knowles]

The var issue is probably going to affect pear, I would presume the plan 
is to make all code 'parseable' by E_STRICT, and yet most pear packages 
will retail PHP4 support for quite a while.

I guess well have to start doing @class { .... } :)

Better.  The only drawback is people who do want to be pedantic will get
flooded by tons of warnings about var rather than being able to focus on
real problems.
Guess I'M being pedantic. :)


If they'd like to keep var then they aren't pedantic :)
I'm sure that even with big apps doing a search and replacing var with 
public will take no more than half an hour.
