Hello, I went to the PHP download page and found two versions: 4.3.10 AND 5.0.3
It does not talk about which one is the most stable.
Please help

I am not sure ! However, in my view, we should use 4.3.1 if you want to
study about PHP, because it is more popular than 5.0 one ! In my
experience, I face to manu problems when changing to the newer version.
At the end, I must come back to 4.3.1 !
4.3.10 is the most stable version of PHP 4, while 5.0.3 is the most stable
version of PHP 5
PHP 5 is the *new* version of PHP which has an update object model. Take a
look at http://www.zend.com/php5/index.php for details.
Most web hosting services are still using PHP 4. Although PHP 5.0.3 is
pretty stable I don't think they will upgrade until 5.1.0 comes out.
Hope this helps.

I thinh we should use 4.3.1 because it is more popular as well as
supported, now ! In my experience, I try the new one, however I faced
many problems, and must come back to 4.3.1 ver !
Both versions are stable. You will find 90% of hosting companies are
still using PHP 4.x. Personally I think some hosts are lazy when
upgrading PHP.
The biggest change in PHP5 by far is the new engine, Zend Engine II.
You can read about this here: http://www.zend.com/php5/zend-engine2.php
along with many other changes in PHP 5. A summary is provided in the
original 5.0.0 announcement here: http://www.php.net/news-2004.php
Personally I would develop for PHP 4 as it's still got the majority of
server usage, and scripts will run in PHP 5 with zero or tiny
modification.

Could you post a link to any of those non-lazy 10%? I'm looking for one :-)

PHP 5.0.3 seems to be fairly stable. Other the other hand, 4.3.X is actually
out there serving up millions of pages each day, so it's proven to be
stable.

I am currently using both 4.3.10 and 5.0.3 extensively, and have noticeda
absolutely no differences between then in terms of stability. both have
those quirky little PHP bugs that you just get used to quickly, but i have
seen nothing that would compel one to avoid the 5.0.x series at all ....
mark.

They are both very stable, but there is one exception. PHP 5.0.x isn't
very stable with the new Apache 2.0. Other than that, your good to go! This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Have people found it stable enough to write apps in and stable enough that I

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
