Newer PHP isn't too bad to program in, so long as everyone who ever will need to write a line of your code is relatively disciplined, and works to an agreed upon standard.
However, your average codebase, written for PHP 5.0 or older, touched by many, mostly incompetent people over several years, is usually incredibly painful to work with.
- debacle 13y agoI haven't seen a PHP codebase that didn't run on 5.2 in years. If you don't support 5.2, that means your code is at least eight years old at this point, with no effort at all to upgrade. That's kind of scary. It'd be like captaining the SS Swiss Cheese.
