There is still a substantial code base reliant on legacy features such as register_globals which requires substantial work to move from 5.3 to 5.4 and it is stumbling blocks like these which are STILL holding up adoption of later versions with ISP's. Anything 'broken' in PHP7 must have a managed upgrade path helped by warnings in 5.7, and I'd even go as far as to say that proposed patches for things like this fix should include migration tools before being merged! So both 5.7 and 7 are required to prevent a rerun of previous chaos ... -- 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
