Thanks to both Georges and Ryan for their replies. Yeah, I suppose it would have |
| 2 |
made sense for me to mention what I'm using. |

|

I have phppgadmin, phpmyadmin, squirrelmail, and postfixadmin (in an overlay, |
| 5 |
and unfortunately with some customization) on my machine. I think at least the |
| 6 |
first three are php5-ready. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
For custom stuff, there is one complete site -- written by my brother -- using |
| 9 |
php. Hopefully it's not using any php4-specific stuff. I think he does use some |
| 10 |
PEAR modules... MDB2, Http_Client, etc. Luckily I think that site's going to |
| 11 |
reach end-of-life soon (was an internal site for a research project), so maybe |
| 12 |
this update will rush that along. :-) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Other than this, there are a few pages here and there that use some php. I don't |
| 15 |
think any of those use any libraries or fancy stuff... hopefully not. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Now, I should not need to re-emerge the webapps (phpmyadmin, etc.), right? They |
| 18 |
don't have any compiled code. I'd rather not deal with the configs if possible. |
| 19 |
I will re-emerge all the PEAR/PECL stuff though. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Will write again to let you know how it went. |

PS: Hmm, so the email the other day said that php4 would be removed from the |
| 26 |
tree yesterday. So, I suppose that this means that if I move to php5 there's no |
| 27 |
way to move back to php4? :-o |
