bugs in PHP5

Hi,

I'm trying to help my hosting company decide whether or not to upgrade to
php 5. My hosting company does not want to upgrade to php 5 if it has bugs
that would cause problems. So i'm doing a little research trying to find
out if php 5 has any bugs. Does anybody know of any bugs in php 5?

Your hosting company is wise. Do not upgrade. PHP 5 real world testing
only begun. It is only natural that it has many new bugs that did not
exist in the PHP version that you are using. Give it some more time
(read months).

I have tried out PHP 5 for the first time (with assistance from this group -- thanks!). The people I was working with have a site that uses lots of php objects. They are having problems with speed. They had a vague idea that PHP5 has improved handling of objects over PHP4, so it would probably be faster also. In fact it seems slower. We did a few timing loops, in which a a number of objects were created and and members were...

Hi, I've been eager to try out PHP5, so I've dumped it on my little dev machine. It's running WinXP with IIS5. I've put the php-cgi.exe in the "mappings" page as I'm used to doing with PHP4. I've got my php.ini all set in C:\Windows. I created an index.php containing: <?php phpinfo(); ?> When I try to view the page, I get "HTTP 400 - Bad Request".

Dear Googlers I have installed PHP5 to run on WinXP against Apache 2. It works! ie. I have tested a few simple scripts and a basic xml document parse.

Hi, I've recently contacted technical service of a web hosting company and asked them wheter or not they're gonna upgrade to PHP5 and MySQL5. Here's a quote from their response which confused me a little: "As php5 and mysql5 are still beta versions we don't install beta versions on production servers due to secure reasons, we install only current working versions on production servers"

I am trying to install Php5 on my WindowsXP machine (at home, not on the 'net). I downloaded the Php Windows binary at php.net, unzipped it to c:/Php5, changed my Apache config file to use Php5 with: LoadModule php5_module "c:/Php5/php5apache2.dll" .... and restarted apache (Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.0.55 OpenSSL/0.9.8a) Php5 works fine, but when I execute phpinfo, the registered streams are:

I am working in two environments neither configuration of which I can change; one's my Web host the other a client. My Web host requires the use of the ".php5" extension to use PHP v5.1.4; where ".php" is used for PHP v4.3.11. My client supports PHP v5.2.0 with the ".php" extension. Is there a way to reliably determine if the ".php5" extension must be used on a server? Perhaps via a "phpinfo()" value?

I have just upgraded my php version form php4 to php5. and I met this problem, and don't know if you know the solution. My site was written in PHP4, and most parts can be running smoothly in PHP5, only that in old version, I can use $row to access the data in database directly, no need to put double quote around fieldname. BUT in PHP5, this is wrong, I got error message "undefined constant". I know this is because PHP5 see the fieldname...

Hi, I am slowly moving my code to php5. But I would like to make it backward compatible in case something bad happens, (and to make sure I understand what the changes are).
