Yes, but it got them to you in 1.2 seconds! =)
What exactly are you looking for as far as the migration goes? The
actual migration of the core PHP4 to PHP5 on the server...or making
sure your existing code will play nicely under PHP5?
The former is addressed nicely in the php.net manual. The latter is
also addressed, but a bit more difficult to undertake and you have to
weigh your options before undertaking them. For example, during our
migration from 4 to 5 some time back, we did something simple (i
wasn't there at the time, but this is what they decided): All the
programs currently running on PHP4 will stay PHP4. Most applications
were as feature rich as they were going to get and we maintain those
apps. All new applications are made with PHP5. Yes, PHP4 is no
longer supported...but that doesn't mean it's going to break over
night.
However, if you plan on maintaining those applications for years to
come, and continue to build on them providing modern features...then
you have a good case to migrate...and I don't know if you'll find a
better detailed resource than the migration manual. http://us3.php.net/manual/en/migrati...compatible.php
I hope this helped, although it really wasn't exactly what you asked
for.
Regards,
Steve

Sorry I wasn't clear enough earlier.
What I want to do is 'upgrade' my site from PHP4 to PHP5.
But my site is busy(ish) and I don't want to take the site down any
longer than I need to.
With that in mind I would like to run the site on a test server for a
couple of months, (maybe not that long), to make sure that it works on
PHP4 and PHP5.
This is why I would need to run both version on one server, (I could
use more than one server but it is a bit of a pain to develop that
way).
Once I am confident that everything is running fine then I can
'briefly'<sicta ke the site down, and upgrade to PHP5.
And...TADA... everything should be fine.

Ah, ok. You want info on how to run 4 & 5 concurrently on a
webserver...wha t is your OS and web server? I can point you in the
direction for server-specific information on how do to this.
As far as a tutorial on how to make your code work, I really can't
help you there. Best I can suggest is do exactly what you
planned...stand up that php5 server (using it on your current server
is not only convent and cost effective, but it really can't get any
more of the "production-like" environment). There are negative
aspects and you must weigh them, too. You'll probably have two code
bases then, since you'll want/need to maintain you current site and a
second code base to make the necessary changes to work with PHP5. If
you're a single programmer/maintainer, shouldn't be TOO bad, but if
not you may want to invest some time in research a solution to
maintain changes in the two separate bases (versioning software, etc).
I really stress, though, that the PHP manual should give you
everything you need (although, it is a bit dry unlike a (typical)
tutorial). Read through it and if you still don't feel comfortable,
perhaps you may invest in getting a PHP consultant to do an assessment
for you. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

On http://www.phpdeveloper.org/section/tutorial/43 there is what seems like
a good tutorial for a beginner but there is no mention of whether it should
all be within one .html file, one .php file, or several separate files, and
if so, what type.
It also includes Action="form2.php3" with no mention of what this file is.
Can anyone help, or alternatively recommend a more complete Form tutorial
for an absolute PHP beginner?
Thanks

Hi guys,
As PHP5 is on its final beta, we decided to start writing a web application
in it to take advantage of the much better object support it offered.
We're running the php-5.0.0b3-Win32.zip installation on a Win2K server
platform alongside PHP4. I have used a hex editor to change instances of
php.ini to ph5.ini in php4ts.dll so that the existing PHP4 installation is
not affected.

Thanks.

Firstly, is the following code allowed assuming the addContent function
expects as single argument?
$page->addContent($form = new Form());
Secondly, I've been reading a tutorial and noticed the use of an "&" in
front of the word "new" when instantiating a new object. See example below,
I just wondered what is it's significance? The code was purely a snippet.
$textField1 = &new inputTextObject("blah", "blah", "blah");
