This is a reminder of the impending update to PHP5 as outlined in this announcement here, which is currently scheduled for the 1st of October 2007.

Again, free test accounts are available on another server with PHP5 and mySQL5 already installed. Just ask if you require one.

Other changes that will be implemented are:

phpsuexec:
This is an option that allows for greater security on the server. It basically means that it helps ensure that your site is not modified/compromised from malicious software that has been installed on another site on the server.

Also, as scripts are run under your user name, and not that of the default of "nobody", you should no longer need to have world writeable files and folders, which again, is more secure.

This change may cause some initial problems, but again, I will work with you to help fix them.

eAccelerator:
This is a caching system for PHP, which helps speed up sites by up to 10 times. This will be added and trialled after the updates have been carried out.
