End of Life for PHP 4

Posted on July 13, 2007 by agentrickard

Update: When PEAR signs on, you know the movement to PHP 5 is real.

Well, that was pretty fast. Php.net announces:

The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5.

I'm not taking any credit here. The writing was on the wall, and GoPHP5 was a symptom; this announcement is the cure.

And almost 2 years later my hosting provider has everything set up as php4. Every site I put up I have to add special code to make everything work with php5. Sure hope everyone gets on the wagon soon.
