Actually, we have no control over this at all. We already need to work around issues in different PHP version (4.3. vs. 4.4 for example). We're taking quite a risk to go straight to PHP 6, but we still believe in that it is going to be a good idea. Especially when we can get rid of some of the BC ballast that PHP is carrying with it right now. > If you don't work around all those bugs you'll have to answer a LOT of > complaints from a lot of users (that don't have control over their > hosting environment). Sure, I know everything about that, but those people can also switch hosts, and which is what some of our users hapily do. regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ez.no | http://xdebug.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
