I am running php3 right now, is there a problem of switching it to php?

I am really a rookie with PHP as you can see :) thanks

Yesterday we downloaded copies of all of the PHP3 programs (base directory and admin directory).

Then we went through and renamed/edited every PHP3 program to change .php3 to .php.

Next we locked everybody out of the board.

Then we uploaded the programs back to the server so that there were both PHP3 and PHP versions.

Then we went through and changed every one of the templates to replace .php3 calls with .php. We also checked the announcements table.

Next we tested it a little.

Then we deleted all of the PHP3 programs from both the base directory and the admin directory.

Finally, we let everyone back in; and there have been no comlaints so far.

OK, my question is will we now be able to upgrade to 2.0, or is there something that we missed?

As you only changed .php3 extension with .php one you shouldn't experience any troubles in this area when upgrading.
It is recommended that you run 1.1.5 with the latest hacks (if any) before upgrading so they can be converted (ie. polls).
