My webhost doesn't want to upgrade to PHP5 because of security reasons and some scripts that will mallfunction. I find it hard to believe. Current conf of webhost is PHP 4.3.11, Apache 1.3.33 and MySQL 3.23.49. What real reasons could there be not to upgrade ? How could I convince them to upgrade to PHP5 ? (Less important for me : but why not upgrade to Apache 2.x and at least MySQL 4.x ?) Enlighten me, Pugi!
