It really depends on what version you have now. I'd say the biggest thing to look out for is the register_globals, which is now defaulted to "Off". This will break lots of sites!!! Turn it on unless you want your phone to ring for days. Users should, however, be urged to get used to coding with it off. It can be turned off on a per directory basis using .htaccess.
I have not actually tried this but one of our users reported a problem with setcookie. He was doing this: setcookie('username', $username, "", $protected_dir); The manual says you must use an integer for the expire argument and cannot escape with an empty string so I'm surprised it ever worked at all, but he says it did work before the upgrade. I had him switch to this: setcookie('username', $username, 0, $protected_dir); Other than that you might have some Redhat specific problems that I'm unaware of. I don't see why you people put up with that rpm crap. :-) Jim Grill Support Web-1 Hosting http://www.web-1hosting.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "karthikeyan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 3:55 PM Subject: [PHP] PHP UPGRADE on LINUX Hi, We have to upgrade our PHP to the latest stable version on Redhat Linux 7.3.
