What I'm getting at is that the htaccess entry is faking the system
which does not make the actual PHP => MySQL compliant. There is nothing
wrong with the code and it is all 100% PHP not embedded. A good example
is Wordpress. Some older WP does not run well on PHP 5 but at the same
time some WP that runs on PHP 4 actually runs better on PHP 5.

And those scripts may actually run better on 5. ;-)
