This is most likely the 100th article you have read about the end of PHP 4. Around the time of the 8/8/8, the blogosphere and the various PHP community sites were full of obituaries for the long since outdated version of our beloved language. So why dwell on it anymore?

Every day, we come across sites that are still happily running on PHP 4, seemingly unaware of the security threat that it poses. And the risks are by no means diminishing. The last release of PHP 4 is becoming more and more passé by the minute. Moreover, the bigger your application is, the more time-consuming it will be to properly migrate and test it.

Just realised you have a problem? No need to panic. At Ibuildings, we have a qualified set of Zend Certified Engineers with migration experience. We use a structured way to migrate and test an application, and we can help implement the new features to benefit the most from what PHP 5 has to offer: speed, security and new features (such as web services, AJAX and XML). Using our experience, you not only save precious time, but you can rest assured that the migration process will be smooth.
