  • I don't know much but, if it's going to be running phpBB, 4 seems to be better for now. Other then that, I know nothing.

    -Q
  • /me thinks 5 is not final, just a beta or RC
  • I think it went final some time ago.

    -Q
  • it depends what you're using it for. I think some things like phpbb doesnt work without modification on 5.
  • phpBB only works in PHP 4.X. PHP 5 will work when phpBB 2.2 comes out.

    go for PHP 4.3. It's compatable with alot of stuff.

  • You just need to tweak it.

    It won't work out of the box until phpBB 2.2.

  • Oh, Didn't realise it was that easy.
  • This is really helpful. I'm trying to help Zenithus out with Hurst Un-Limited and he is having problems with his php5. He is an advanced PHP coder and he is starting to regret installing php5. Keep talking.... I'm waiting for more opinions.

  • I have my webserver using PHP4 and PHP5. I have PHP5 setup to use PHP5 scripts only. Werid thing is PHP5 doesn't really like PHP4 or PHP3 scripts very well. I couldn't get phpBB to work with PHP5. Basicly I were you just stay with PHP4.
