PHP 4 & 5

As I'm sure many of you have heard, the PHP Project is taking a direction of making PHP5 their exclusively supported language. PHP4 will not be developed any further. Unlike some other hosts, Globat will continue to support PHP4 to ensure that all your scripts work. PHP5 has a tenancy of not being backwards compatible - especially with certain Open Sorce scripts. We will keep running PHP4 as long as it is secure and desired. You can choose which version of PHP you run on a Globat.com account by using a .htaccess file. If you're not running an app that is compatible with PHP5, we invite you to install the latest version.

We do support PHP5 and believe in it as a project. We invite all open source software authors to follow.

Here are the versions all Globat servers are running (as of Jan 31st 2008):

Version 4.4.8 (Jan '08)

Version 5.2.5 (Nov '07)
http://treasure.globat.com/phpinfo.php5

Enjoy and happy coding.
