Again, you're missing the point. CakePHP runs just fine on PHP 5. There is nothing stopping you from using PHP 5's new stuff with CakePHP. Sadly, many people are reluctant to upgrade to PHP 4 for reasons to do with hosting (scared to switch) or comfort level (scared that they won't understand PHP 5). My boss feels that CakePHP suffers because it has to support PHP 4 and that somehow it can't compete against Zend Framework because it's PHP 5 only. This is, of course, a load of shit. So, I put the following to you: provide an example of where CakePHP is being held back by having to support PHP 4 or shut the hell up about it. Documented proof would be nice, not just personal opinion. Even if all you do is move your existing app to PHP 5, you will see a benefit in performance. It has been my own personal experience that the only apps that might have to be tweaked to run under PHP are those doing weird stuff with PHP 4's object model. I run WordPress for my blogs, which is supposedly a PHP 4 only application, with PHP 5.
