>Hello Everyone,
>
>I've been using PHP 4 and am very comfortable with it. I've developed
>several major products in 4 and they work very well and are stable.
>Lately, I've had a few clients ask me about PHP 5 and if they should
>migrate over to it because it's the latest and greatest. I've always
>told them no because of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule.
>
>But lately, I've been wondering about switching myself.
>
>Is it advantageous for me, as a web developer, to begin switching my
>projects over to PHP 5 and OOP even if the old way is working fine?
>I'm not seeing too many jobs that require 5 knowledge and I notice
>that a mass migration of hosting providers to PHP 5 has yet to happen.
>
>What does everyone think? Is learning and switching over to 5 now
>worthwhile or should I wait until it's been more fully adopted by the
>community?
>
>Thanks!
>Anthony Papillion
>Advanced Data Concepts

Anthony:

I haven't made the jump myself, but am interested in doing so.

However, I read somewhere that less than 10 percent of php 
programmers have made the switch -- can anyone support/disclaim that 
statement?
