Server Upgrade: PHP5 MySQL5 eAccelerator
Posted: Fri 07/13/2007 by ramiroWhat a coincidence, I just upgraded my server to PHP5 to be able to use the PHP5 SimpleXML functions for less painstaking processing of Web services data returned as XML and now I read that PHP4 is sentenced to death. After December 31st, 2007 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4 and after August, 8th, 2008 no more security updates.

The results display quick reference information for functions, methods, classes, attributes, etc. For more in-depth information there is also a link to the documentation source. A great idea. Give it a try.
