PHP version & awstats protection dynamic change

[ispcomm]

nice to meet you again sci2tech. I've been lurking the forums now and then, but not too often.

I was wondering with this php4/5 issue myself. I have hundreds of sites on php4 and it's not easy to push customers on php5 as some things don't work exactly the same way. Mambo and Joomla 1.0.x come to my mind as good examples, but there are others for sure.

A good hoster will keep existing technology while providing an upgrade path. A bad hoster will upgrade the server overnight without notice (guess which am I).

php6 will come along and perhaps Nathariel has a good idea how to accomodate other things like "ruby" and why not... "perl" via fastcgi/fcgid.

If this project leaves ground you can count me on
