I remember reading something on this. Every new day comes with its bunch of deprecated functionalities, backward compatibility breaks and secret changes in the world of PHP, so I wouldn't be too surprised. The easy solution would be to mark HTML_QuickForm incompatible with PHP5 because we use is_a() which is deprecated in PHP5. The problem is that is_a() was replaced by a PHP5-only function. Every code using is_a() is not PHP5 compatible and will break. The other day, I noticed that class_exists() now takes an optional parameter to force it not to use __autoload(). It's becoming a nightmare. No wonder there are less than 5% of PHP5 adopters after 2 years ! Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
