Re: Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Contact_Vcard_Parse-1.30 (stable) Released.

I agree with lukas here - the trade off of creating this function for 'OLD' installations is worth the risk/kludge.. - Having to maintain extra code just to deal with Older versions of PHP is a real nightmare... Here's another example of a klude for FC if (substr(php_version(),0,1) != 5) { eval("function clone($obj) { return $obj; }"); } It would be nice to have a library that attempted to implement these.... eg. at the end of PEAR.php if (php version < 4.3) { // if php is less than the current version $version = substr(php_version(),0,3); // include emulators and warning messages... include 'PEAR/Compact/$version.php'; } even if some of those features where implemented as function file_get_contents() {

      trigger_error('file_get_contents is not available in version '.php_version().' please upgrade to version 4.3 or greater',E_FATAL);

} It would make a world of difference.... Regards Alan

Hi,

the better approach would have been to do something like this: if(!function_exists("file_get_contents")) {

    function file_get_contents($filename, $use_include_path = 0)
