Any update? Is this a work in progress or a rainy day venture? Ed Post Edited (Edified) : 11/4/2006 7:40:37 PM GMT
We are not actively testing PHP5 because of the backward compatibility problem and lack of demand. Afterall, DiscountASP.NET is a windows focused host that specialized in ASP.NET hosting. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
That's reasonable. I'm trying all this out because my friend Brock Human wanted some help and already has hosting here. If I can't get this all working I still have about 2TB of bandwidth over at Dreamhost so I'll just move the DNS and use Apache/PHP/mySQL. That being said it's always nice to get out and experience different hosting services and it's encouraging that the forums actually get read, even if the answers aren't the ones I would want. Thank you. Cheers, Ed P.S. At this point many open PHP applications are PHP5 coompatible Ed Palma - edified.org
That may be true, but much customer-written code will probably not be. A lot of unix hosts have to run 4 and 5 concurrently for that very reason. I don't see us going that route, for the reasons Bruce cited; it's not our niche, and the demand so far is pretty much nil. mjp DiscountASP.NET <SUB><SUP>http://DiscountASP.NET
I have a hosting account on a Unix server too, and they are actually running an older version of PHP than discountasp.net =) That said, I really hope PHP support stays here, even if it's low priority.
PHP support itself isn't low priority. Currently there just isn't that much of a demand for PHP5 because, for most people, PHP4 meets all their requirements. Joel Thoms DiscountASP.NET http://www.DiscountASP.NET
