How?

Can I install PHP5 without PHP4? will this save some server resources?

Today it is exactly three years ago since PHP 5 has been released. In those three years it has seen many improvements over PHP 4. PHP 5 is fast, stable & production-ready and as PHP 6 is on the way, PHP 4 will be discontinued.

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.

For documentation on migration for PHP 4 to PHP 5, we would like to point you to our migration guide. There is additional information available in the PHP 5.0 to PHP 5.1 and PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.2 migration guides as well.

So I would drop support for php4...

Till End of the Year we will continue. PHP6 is not yet release. If it is, we can decide to switch over. But why drop support? IT won't cost much to have PHP4 support. We can "sell" it better with build in PHP4

Yes, let us think about it when PHP4 is full stopped and PHP6 is released as stable. PHP4 works this time - no need disable it.

[raphael]

PHP4 is in etch... and that means that the debian security team has to give support for it while it is stable and still some more time (I think two years) when it becomes oldstable.

[joximu]

ok, your right... debian gives support... :-)
