I'm hoping that in future we can provide better tools for upgrading in between versions. Both from an auto-conversion perspective and just scanning the code statically and printing out warnings on what code to check. Coupled with better upgrading docs I think we'd improve the current situation significantly.

    We already have the scanner:

# php -derror_reporting=4095 -l script_to_check.php Strict Standards: Usage of {} to access string offsets is deprecated and will be removed in PHP 6 in t.php on line 6 No syntax errors detected in t.php

    With a simple shell script you can create a list of files having
    any errors/warnings/notices/strict.. :)

    At work we use a syntax checker script run whenever we commit files
    to our CVS repository to catch any errors early..this reminded me to
    fix that script to catch notices and such too. :)
