PHP5 has been out for 3 years now, but the majority of web hosting providers will still only support PHP4. The PHP community has decided that it is time to move forward, together. To this end they have produced the site GoPHP5.org, which lists various cornerstones of the PHP development community such as PHPMyAdmin and Drupal, as well as several web hosts who are supporting the initiative. Effective February 5th, 2008, any new feature releases for these projects will have a minimum version requirement of at least PHP 5.2.0, with the idea being to force web hosts to update to the newer, better version.

This is great news, I can only hope that more projects, maybe even Wordpress, will join in.

All this, and it’ll be just in time for PHP6.
