Hey, Wasn't the move from php3 to php4 supposed to be mostly transparent? It's not right now, I have one program in particular that does not work with php4, it is very complicated with over 1300 lines and I am going to have fun debugging it. I am not complaining, I will do this happily for the advantage of moving to php4, but still....the point is that from what I read php4 is supposed to be backwards compatible??? -Buddy bourbon@netvision.net.il wrote: > On Fri, 2 Jul 1999, Sascha Schumann wrote: > > > > Why does it matter? > > > > Semantics change is a no-no, if avoidable. > > Semantically nothing changed, both "0" and "" are false.
