by their creators waiting to be downloaded. That script/project could use custom error handlers and could somehow depend on PHP4's behaviour. You never know.

My guess of the chance that this happens? I'd say about 1:2^42. This script working without changes with PHP5? About 1:2^64738. And a web hosting company with customers like that upgrading to PHP5 anytime soon? About 1:2^64.

Hmm I don't find adding an parameter to error_reporting() call making my life much harder. I didn't need it before, remember? I can go and write version_compare() in my error handler too to remain BC after using this new parameter.

So trade a certain evil (version checking is code bloat and maintenance hell) for something highly hypothetical? Your call but I think it's a poor choice. *But* let's not forget to come to a conclusion at some point. I've done my advocacy now, could someone with the authority now decide, please? :-) - Chris
