It's not just the historic version in Debian/stable. For example, SuSE has yet to release a php4 update, too, although they only support 4.3 these days, AFAIK. The lack of coordination of security bug resolution on the PHP developers' part is certainly a point to consider before you deploy additional PHP-based applications. I'm not sure if the other server-side scripting languages are so much better. I'm just following the PHP situation more closely, having left behind a couple of PHP scripts at my previous workplace. 8-/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
