NOOOO! Don't nuke it!
I don't get the point some people here are trying to make.
Their point was something about that when following E_STRICT it will (maybe)
not work in older versions. So that means that we need to backport every
single feature in PHP 5 to every other PHP version and get everyone to
upgrade, otherwise noone can use the new functions ?
If you don't need the new functions you can stick to your old version and if
you *DO* need the new functions, well, then use them and require those who
wants to use the scripts to upgrade their PHP or don't use the scripts.
Maybe those who are complaining about this should complain to their computer
manufactors too that they can't use their old EDO memory modules in their
brand new computers ? Don't they think about BC ?!?
Hope you all got *my* point..
