Has anyone ever moved their server from PHP4 up to PHP5? Am I going to be banging my head on my desk for weeks? So many scripts. I’m afraid.

I have done this and the main issues I ran into was having to reset all the php limit variables. Oh, don’t forget that you will have to upgrade or reinstall zend and/or ioncube too.

We ran into a few scripts that broke. I’m not a programmer, but I think it was something about global variables and a handful of other conventions that are handled very differently in PHP5. But I’d say that 3/4 of our scripts worked fine.

Now… going from MySQL 4 to MySQL 5 was a different story :slight_smile:
