No, I agree that PHP (both version 4 and 5) are far from frozen and still receive lots of updates, as the ChangeLog clearly shows.

Yes, now it's too late, and I still feel that it is a shame. > [0] http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.0.4 -- Martin Geisler GnuPG Key: 0x7E45DD38 PHP EXIF Library | PHP Weather | PHP Shell http://pel.sf.net/ | http://phpweather.net/ | http://mgeisler.net/ Read/write EXIF data | Show current weather | A shell in a browser
