Something I always thought would be cool to do and havent seen anywhere (or even know if its possible) is script or extension which can scan a php 4 app and point out area's where the code isnt compatible with php 5.. similar to the analyzer in zend studio I guess. This would help people audit existing applications and encourage them to become compatible with php 5.
This is turn (I hope) would then encourage hosting companies to start deploying php 5 and get out of the circle of them not updating to php 5 as apps arent compatible.. and apps not becoming compatible with php 5 as the hosting companies dont support it :-) Is this a crazy idea? Or is it even possible? I guess its not possible to garuantee 100% compatability but even 90 - 95% would be a start. Regards Mark
