2 title: Upgrading to 5.2
8 So I finally came around to upgrade to PHP 5.2 (I was running 4.4 on the
9 production server until now). I know, what a shame! :)
11 Anyway the only issue I really had, in spite testing the code really well over
12 time, was with class_exists() and millions of warnings becaus of a missing
13 __autoload(). I blame the people who introduced the second parameter to
14 class_exists() **and** changing the default behaviour at the very same moment.
15 Actually, it was an annoying but rather easy to fix compatibility brake.
17 APC in conjunction with PHP-5.2 seems to work very well either, it even feels
18 a lot less memory exhaustive than running APC+PHP-4.
20 Ah yes, just on a side note, I also upgraded to Apache-2.2 in the same run.
21 Somehow I now have a warm and fuzzy feeling running this up-to-date software,
22 it really was already like a brinck in my stomach. Anyway, what's left is to
23 migrate from the Apache module to the FastCGI SAPI and switching to the worker
24 MPM... but I'm done already.
