PHP 4 end of life

PHP.net has announced the end of support for PHP 4.

http://www.php.net/

We are unable to fully commit to PHP 5 at the university. I
am wondering 
however how the community feels about discontinuing support
for PHP 4 in 
phpWebSite 1.x. This would not happen anytime soon but I
believe we 
should consider a timeline.

What do you think?

 From a commercial standpoint as a hosting company, I don't
see how  
I'll be supporting PHP4 much past the end of the year when
main  
development ends and as such I've been asking some of my
larger  
customers to make sure their applications are ready for
PHP5. I've a  
spare testing server now and I've been gradually moving
people.

I'd think that most hosting companies would be of a similar
thinking  
rather than waiting for next August when security fixes
stop.

I've maybe a dozen sites on phpWebSite 0.10.2 still which
I'm  
gradually moving on to 0.11 (which is php5 compatible as far
as my  
testing has gone). Most rely on phpWebSite 0.x features and
modules  
so they aren't moving to 1.x. I should really pick up
development  
pace on that but other projects are taking precedence.

I think it would be safe to make phpWebSite 1.x PHP5 only
personally  
and I'd imagine the cleaner object model would make
developing for it  
a lot easier. Recently I was looking through other php
frameworks  
(CodeIgniter, Zend and Symfony) and came to the conclusion
that php4  
support just wasn't worth it. I ended up with Symfony btw
for that  
project. http://www.symfony-pro

I pretty much echo what Shaun says. My main server will be
php4 for a  
while yet, but I'm not waiting til next August to migrate to
php 5.  
It will be gradual this winter. I have a lot more 0.10.x
sites to  
contend with (mostly heavily customized) and even a few
0.8.x sites.  
I may keep a php4 server up for a little while longer, for a
few  
clients who refuse to upgrade and realize they will be moved
to  an  
unsupported obsolete server.
