    Get Your PHP Upgrades ready...
    Posted: 09:08 am

    The official announcement came today, PHP4 will be discontinued at the end of the year, a good 3 years after the release of PHP5.

    This is a much needed move in the PHP world, something to get all the hosting companies to finally upgrade servers. Everyone has had ample time to upgrade their software and still have til the end of year.

    There may still be some critical security patches released until August of next year, but come on everyone lets make the move to a better place ... PHP5!

    Finally a reason to upgrade to PHP5
    Posted: 10:46 am

    I don't know how many times people have asked me to build a upload progress indicator into a website, or CMS, which until now has not been possible with PHP.

    I recently came across this article (via PHPDeveloper) about how to build an upload progress bar in PHP 5.2!

    I know there are plenty of other reasons to upgrade to PHP5, but this is a reason that the client will understand and want to act on.

    The upgrade cycle to PHP5 hasn't progressed too quickly, probably a case of if it aint broke -- don't fix it, perhaps features like this that people have been craving will make things move a long a little quicker.
