How can you write killer apps in php5 when less than 5% of low costs hosting providers support it? Its a viciousc cycle. hosts wont support php5 because apps dont work with it, and apps wont worth with it until hosts support php5. I guess a lot of hosts are scared from the php3 to php4 upgrade which caused quite a few problems
The fact that hosts don't support PHP5 doesn't prevent you from writing killer apps in PHP5, which will encourage them to upgrade as their users start pressuring them... Jasper
