Many people are now gradually moving from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. For Drupal 7 PHP 5.3 is recommended: http://drupal.org/requirements That is not by mistake. Many Drupal 7 modules just aren't fully supporting PHP 5.4 yet. The issues are getting lower, but there still are enough issues to make me choose for PHP 5.3 om my development and production servers. >It would be good if we could get the majority of the major PHP apps to >commit to supporting mysqli along the same timeframe as marking this >deprecated. How would you want to accomplish that? See the PHP 5.3/5.4 story. PHP 5.3 will be there for many, many years no matter how EOL the PHP community declares it.
