Yeah, PHP4 was EOL'd quite a while back. Unfortunately, the transition from PHP4 to PHP5 wasn't easy for a lot of people, and application developers didn't make this any easier for end-users by having convoluted and often broken upgrade paths. Of the two hosts I've dealt with regularly, both of them still support PHP4 on their older accounts, and both of them have handled the transition by setting up new servers and having all new accounts installed on their PHP5 servers. I'm curious about the advantages you say that a model has over an array of strings. I can't honestly think of any. I don't disagree that frameworks are designed to make development easier. Quite the contrary: that's why I have a strong preference for frameworks that are very clear, very concise, and very lightweight. I'm way beyond busy right now, but I'm considering writing a competing procedural approach to leftnode's code, just for fun.
