The idea
The GoPHP5 idea is an attempt to get web hosts to upgrade to PHP5 on their servers. Despite PHP5 being 3 years old, production ready, and in good use, web hosts cling to their trusty old PHP4 installation.The problem
This poses a problem for many PHP developers - we can't use the latest features of PHP, or even features that are 3 years old. By removing support for PHP4 from our software, we can make use of better PHP features and produce a better CMS. The only thing holding us back to date is the fact that most hosts still have PHP4.The Jojo team have been trying to decide on a date to discontinue PHP4 support, and the timing of GoPHP5 seems about right, and keeps us in line with other PHP projects.
