Host upgrading their scripts

[wizardan]

Notably, going from php 4+ to php 5.2

Should I be concerned for my 3.6.8 install?
Thank you in advance.

As long as it supports xml (i think that's it ...), which it most likely will, and its not Safe Mode PHP, you shouldn't worry. :D

[wizardan]

Thank you.

They did mention, as far as improved security, something called "PHPSuExec".

Anyone familiar with that?

[SNN]

I believe that just enables two versions of PHP, not sure, but my host (HostGator) has it, so it's most likely fine.

[wizardan]

Thanks for the input, SNN.

using 5.2.4 without problems here, I can also swicth to php4 in seconds with a small htaccess tweak without problems. all is fine

[wizardan]

Thanks for the info, class101.
I'd like to hear more about that htaccess tweak.

[SNN]

I believe in htaccess it's
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .phtml .php5for PHP5, remove the '5' and it should be php four. [Not 100% sure]
