php 4 - php 5

[nabshdgb]

I scripted my site while it was on a host that ran php 4 and it ran fantastic, no bugs at all.

put it on a host with php 5 and its got errors everywhere

Do you think i would be wise for me to learn php 5+ or run php 4 on the new host?

thanks

Here's a quick overview of what has changed between PH4 and PHP5. PHP5 for the most part is backwards compatible with PHP4, but there are a couple key changes that might break your PHP4 script in a PHP5 environment. If you aren't already, I stronly suggest you start developing for PHP5. Many hosts these days offer a PHP5 environment, or a dual PHP4/PHP5 setup so you should be fine on that end. Using all of these new features is worth even a moderate amount of trouble you might go through finding a new host!
