Everyone here should know (from my posts) that I have long resisted a switchover from PHP 4 to 5. And as we have our own dedicated servers we could do that.

However, even I have to yield to the inevitable when the PHP Organisation discontinues support for PHP 4 bug fixes and security patches - and we shall switchover to PHP5-only on the old servers from the end of July next year, and any new servers we bring online before then will be PHP5-only right from the start.

Switching over to MySQL 5 is a much bigger problem - and we won't be doing that for the forseeable future.

I doubt that anyone here has more osCommerce sites hosted than we do, and so the switchover will be that much greater for us than anyone else. However, this is one of those cases where, as the Borg say, "Resistance is futile"!
