I'm not sure about the crashes but make sure you php is using the right libmysqlclient.so, i've had problems when using the wrong one. > > The problem is the hosts refuse to upgrade to anything after 4.2.3 as 4.2.3 > is the only one packaged up with Debian (the OS used on the server) and > anything over 4.2.3 is too buggy to install, in particular 4.3.2 has quote > "In particular there are severe memory and semaphore issues with > 4.3.2 that make it almost unusable in a production environment." The php developers wont release code that is know to be buggy, the releases actually fix more bugs than introduce them. > > If that's the case, why hasn't 4.3.2 been fixed since late May?

They might be making up excuses souly on the fact that they can't spend everyday upgrading versions of software. They probably prioritize what was important and not. Seeing that their have been complaints with php 4.3.2 they decided not to deal with support issues. At least that would be my thinking as a hosting company. > > I would like to get away from 4.2.3, just wondering what people's thoughts > on the current version of php are. I havn't upgraded yet so couldn't comment.
