WordPress : PHP 4 and MySQL 4 End of Life Announcement
Our approach with WordPress has always been to make it run on common server configurations. We want users to have flexibility when choosing a host for their precious content. Because of this strategy, WordPress runs pretty much anywhere. Web hosting platforms, however, change over time, and we occasionally are able to reevaluate some of the requirements for running WordPress. Now is one of those times. You probably guessed it from the title — we’re finally ready to announce the end of support for PHP 4 and MySQL 4!
First up, the announcement that developers really care about. WordPress 3.1, due in late 2010, will be the last version of WordPress to support PHP 4.

PHP6 suspended
For many days the eyes of the developers were facing the future of PHP 6. Rasmus Lerdorf hand a statement to announce that construction of the version 6 was deadlocked and therefore this branch has been stopped.
The decision of this difficult choice is caused by the integration of Unicode, which shows that this site is harder to implement than forecast.
Of course the contributors in this industry want to leave a little time to find a new trend.
Regarding other developments that would occur with PHP 6 are
- Improvement of Object Oriented Programming
- Improved security and functionality
- Evolution of deposit PECL
- Various improvements
These points are still valid and should be integrated in future versions
Communication is important !
I'll never say this enough : Communication is very important in a project's team.
