There's also a lot of code that hasn't changed. > Third, we won't be able to handle the bugs if they're in a combined > database. It's just not going to work. I have modified the stuff under version4 to only display bugs reported against bugs that are reported against a PHP version that starts with a 4. (This includes the bugstats page.) I am migrating the two bugs reported against php4 already into the combined database. Jim
