This is wrong. At May 2012: PHP 5.1 starts with 4.9% PHP 5.4 start with 0.1 %

In Februar 2013: PHP 5.1 has now 3.2% = lose of 1.7% PHP 5.4 has now 2.2% = grow of 2.1%

But PHP5.4 was released 1st March ;) So 5.6% rather than 4.9% and a loss of 2.4% I was just looking at the graph ;) Take up of 5.4 is having very little impact on the switch TO PHP5.3 is the point though. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
