Why is PHP being updated on sirium.net?

The PHP Group is dropping support for php version 4 at the end of this coming year - the 31st December 2007, for all but critical security fixes. Then all support will be dropped in August of 2008.

There is also a movement afoot on the Internet by PHP application providers to drop support for version 4 in early 2008. This means that any forums, CMS, galleries, etc. that you use, may not be able to be upgraded.
