Which PHP-Version do you use?

I just want to get a feeling how wide-spreaded are newer PHP-versions in the S9Y-community. I also would like to know which fact prevent users from using PHP 5. The reason is that I want to know if it is worth adopting more and more PHP5-components and libraries (SimpleXML, DOMDocument, parts of the raising Zend Framework etc. pp.) for S9Y, which would make development much more easier.

Hi!

The way I see it, php5 is currently only in testing and unstable?

And most of the servers I come in contact with are debian-stable-powered. So at least it's not totally uncommon ;)

Best regards,
Garvin

Isn't that the reason why Debian-people tend to do the three steps ./configure; make; make install by hand :-)

That would mean for each PHP security update we'd have to compile it by hand. Debian people tend to be lazy SOBs, so they rather rely on package management ;)

php 4.4.4 on my live site http://carlgalloway.com (host is relio.com)

php 5.0.5 on my local test server http://localhost (this is the default on my version of xampp which is admittedly out of date)

I voted PHP 4.4.x (I use it with MySQL 5.1.11 on a AMD Opteron 2 GHz together with 2 GB RAM).
