Hi all. I've reading on some sites [1,2] that PHP 6 is comming soon... What should I do? Migrate my server and apps to PHP 5 now and, later to PHP 6, or wait some more time and migrate all to PHP 6? TIA

I think you should migrate to PHP5 now, as i think it will take some time before a real PHP6 release is coming. I don't know where you useit for. Is it development or productional? For development you could work with a CVS Snapshot, but that's not recommended for productional. But of course if you don't have any problems with the PHP you are currently using (I guess PHP 4.x), then it's not really needed to upgrade. I agree and disagree - I agree with "you should migrate to PHP5 *NOW*" (my emphasis added) and I disagree with "then it's not really needed to upgrade." (unless you don't care about security.) Ilia Alshanetsky gave a great talk on this topic recently, http://ilia.ws/talks/ scroll to the bottom to "(PDF) Migrating to PHP 5.2.1". Travis Doherty

I said if you don't have any problems, so also no problems with security :) Tijnema
