I am not a master but as per my knowledge your software which is in PHP4
should work properly in PHP5 too.

Without looking at the rules (Sry barely have time to reply!) I don't think
this is appropriate for this list. I am fairly certain it is against the
rules to ask/offer work on here.
Can anyone confirm or deny?

But advertising your services is OK?

It will provided that the scripts use none of the deprecated elements
that were dropped in PHP5. For example, $HTTP_POST_VARS, which became
deprecated in PHP4, was dropped in PHP5. To convert a PHP4 script that
uses this to PHP5 you can either do a global search and replace or
else include $HTTP_POST_VARS =3D $_POST at the head of the script.
BTW, $HTTP_POST_VARS isn't the only one - I'm just using it as an
example here.

Best practice also changed. For example, mysql_escape_string() became
deprecated in PHP5 and in its place the manual advises use of
mysql_real_escape_string().

HTH,

Whilst there will be many aspects of the code that will run quite
happily, there are several features that have been deprecated and/or
removed, depending upon the version of PHP4 and PHP5 you have and
want.

There are, I think, 2 valid approaches to this sort of task.

1 - Get the code base functional with PHP5, but without using any of
the new features. This involves handling/converting any code that used
deprecated and/or removed features of PHP4.

Amongst these, register_globals, magic_quotes and ereg would probably
be the most popular to look at.

This _SHOULD_ be fairly easy to do. Obviously, the complexity and
structure of the current code will dictate the amount of time. If, for
example, the code isn't documented and there are no testsuites, then a
new developer is only going to be able to handle what the code
actually does, and not necessarily what the code is supposed to do.
Checking the code's behaviour without a testsuite could be pretty
difficult.

2 - Refactor the modules of the application, taking into account new
features of PHP5.

This could involve moving from PHP4 procedural code to PHP5 OOP. This
could require a significant investment in time (and therefore money),
depending upon the project.

And may not be necessary.

Richard.

Google "php4 to php5 converter" or "php4 to php5 conversion"
That should set you on your way.

The best way I have read to do this is just run your code on a php5
server and build in php error detection of some kind, then just fix
the errors as they come.
:)

Best,
Karl
