Quite a lot has changed between PHP 4.3.x and 5.0.x. Apparently, things |
| 20 |
like classes are totally different. The classes in PHP 5 more closely |
| 21 |
resemble Java than the ones in PHP 4. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
AFAIK the changes broke quite a few applications, and so PHP 5 isn't |
| 24 |
very backward compatable in that regard. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Having said that... is it possible to install both PHP4 and PHP5 |
| 27 |
simultaneously? I'd like to tinker with PHP5, but I don't want to |
| 28 |
sacrifice PHP4 in the process. |
