As from 31 December 2007, support from PHP.net for version 4 of PHP will cease.We are now planning on upgrading all servers (excluding H-Sphere) to PHP5 as the default version of PHP.
This means that any scripts with the extension .php5 or .php will automatically load within PHP5.
Most popular scripts that are commonly used today (Wordpress, Gallery/G2, Wiki, Joomla, OSC) have all been updated to work with PHP5 and we would suggest that all clients and resellers ensure that these are up to date as soon as possible.
PHP4 will be loaded into the config as a fall back using the .php4 file extension. However, this will not remain in place permanently and is only provided to allow you further time to debug and correct any scripts that you may have that do not work correctly with PHP5 on the switch over date.
We will conduct these upgrades starting Saturday 8th December 2007 and ending Sunday 9th December 2007. There will be no downtime associated with these upgrades.
If you have any questions regarding the upgrade, please contact support.

The date of this work has been reviewed and delayed by one week due to a small technical issue we are working on before the change.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

We were not able to complete upgrades to bravo, kilo or echo within the window allowing us to test the changes.
These three servers will be completed during the early hours on Tuesday 11 December to minimise any possible disruption.
