Possible downtimes!

During the next days, it's possible that the forum (or the whole site) may be down sometimes. The host is upgrading the database to MySQL5.
If you can read this, it's not down...

I have noticed already that. it has been 2 times the site was down.

MySQL is at 5.x now...the downtimes should be gone.

I'm gonna be in trouble when I move to php 5:P

Damned pass-by-reference is gone.

I don't know why they disallow that. It's much more efficient for altering a complex array with multiple functions.

I thought they've just switched the semantics, so that a former pass-by-reference is a pass-by-value now and vice versa. Isn't that so? Oh well, PHP is an awful language anyway IMHO.

To my knowledge, it is, at the very least, deprecated.

And, you're right, it is a very sloppy language, and the OOP extension they have added is inconsistent, and overkill.

In fact, they should deprecate the whole language...

I would back your cause, if I hadn't spent 4 years working on a massive text-based rpg
