PHP Upgrade questions...
I am rteying to write an app for uploading files. I want to use mime_content_type(), but it is not enabled in the default build on my system.
I have yet to do an upgrade of PHP and wanted to seek some advice before continuing. I want to have this app done this weekend, so I don't wan't to kill my dev box. Also, I will have to upgrade my production box as well.
In reading the install readme, I see comments that say not to use PHP on Apache 2.x for production. What are your experiences and/or opinions of this statement. It is actually on the PHP.net site saying this. I have 2.x on my dev box and 1.3.x on my production box and have been condidering upgrading.
Next question, which version would you recommend? 4.3.x or a 5.x release?
What options do you recommend for compile? Are there any pitfalls or gotchas I need to be aware of?
TIA
