For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
PHP Version?

Posted by JimL (JimL), 17 August 2006
Whilst visiting PHP.NET I noticed a headline saying "PHP 4.4.3 Released".

I thought the latest version was 5.1.4

Could someone explain what's going on and which version is which?

Cheers,  Jim

Hi

I *think* they are currently supporting both the stable 4.?? versions as well as the 5.?? new version of PHP.

Then again I *think* the earth is flat and umpalumpas really do exist so it may be worth waiting for Graham to answer  

Hope this helps.

Graham confirms that Chris's thoughts are right ...

The 5.1.x releases are the latest and greatest.  However, there are a couple of compatability issues between 4 and 5, and there's also the unbundling of things like the MySQL drivers, so a lot of ISPs and shared server providers are still running 4.x.x on their legacy systems .... probably will be for a very long time.   Upgrades to 4.x.x will be minimal in new facilities - typically fixing security holes ...

Many thanks to Graham for his wisdom and Chris for his umpalumpas.

Cheers,  Jim
