[Hidden-tech] Network Solutions forcing users to upgrade to PHP5

[Charles Uchu Strader]

Adam,

If you are in need of an immediate PHP4 refuge we are still hosting a 
server with it, though we are also on the move stop support for it fully 
this year.  We are happy to work with customers in relation to their 
ability/timing to update their app. 

The big differences in PHP5 were around requirements related to proper 
code syntax.  PHP4 allowed a lot of messy coding styles.  So if the app 
was developed well, you might not have much migration/bug fix issue on 
changing to PHP5.

Cheers,

Charles
