Hi,

i would like to know if upgrading php on a server from php4 to php 5 would affect my drupal 6 installations? my web host manager just informed me that they will be doing this in 1 week and i wanted to know if this was going to cause a 500 page drupal site to stop working?

looking forward to hearing some good news!

No problem for core Drupal. Only some rare module now and then may have a problem.

Anyway, PHP5 is an improvement, and better to face it now than later.

i really appreciate your feedback, i was about to run for the hills. one more follow up question, i asked about conflicts in drupal 6 but then i realized i have two other sites running drupal 5 - will those be safe as well?

PHP 5.2 is supported since Drupal 5.1 or later. (But if you have Drupal 5.0 it is easy to update to Drupal 5.7)

Older versions of PHP 5 are supported by any Drupal 5 version.

As always, some rare contributed module may misbehave and may need an update to a newer release.
