Hi, I have a suggestion for you :-) php is changing very fast. New functions appears with every new (even minor) release, new options appears too, some variable may not be use anymore, etc., etc. and it's always difficult in fact to know which are the real minimum requirements for a large script we (developers) have made. So here is my suggestion of a new support feature for the php.net web site: build a page and a script to analyse php scripts that developers can paste in a text box of this page, to find the php functions & variables in, classify them by minimum php release required from the lastest to the oldest (as you have these data), and display a report like this one... ----------- Thanks for using our new php release requirement analyse page. Your script has been fully analysed. It appears that the minimum requirement to run it is : php 4.1.2 Here is the minimum requirement details if you want to adjust it to support more php release : Used functions/variables which required php 4.1.2 xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() Used functions/variables which required php 4.1.0 xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() Used functions/variables which required php 4.0.1 xxxxxxxx() Used functions/variables which required php 4.0.0 xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() Used functions/variables which required php 3.0.18 xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() On the opposite, here is the functions & variables which are not supported anymore or which the php group does not recommended anymore: Functions/variables which are not recommended since php 3.0.0 xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() Functions/variables which are not recommended since php 3.0.2 xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() xxxxxxxx() Functions/variables which are not recommended since php 3.0.18 xxxxxxxx() ----------- Thanks :-)
