[ciapug] PHP 6

[Dave J. Hala Jr.]

Wow.. A complete rewrite? So...was it punishing?  Did you make any
architectural changes during the rewrite? How long did it take?

I've been considering a rewrite of NIFCAP on PHP 5 in about a year or
so. It just makes me squeemish.

On a good note, the upgrade to Mysql 4.x is gonna happen next month. In
testing there have been *no* issues. As soon as the new server gets here
it'll be up and running.
