    Does anybody know where I can get the differences between PHP 5.03 and PHP 4.3.1? I developed a website locally using 5.0.3 and it works perfectly, but when I uploaded it to my hosting company's server it is behaving very differently and half of it is not working. I was hoping that if I could get an idea of the differences in the 2 PHP versions it might help me debug the issues.

    Thanks. :confused:

    PHP's site has something about this, I think. Something that comes to mind is that the server may not register parameters of variables (which would be sensible of it). So to access a parameter "parameter" you'd have to do $_REQUEST

    That was introduced in the upgrade from 3 to 4, not 4 to 5 IIRC, definately somewhere along the lines of 4 anyway. I encountered that about 2 years ago, 5 definately wasn't around then.

    Doesn't look like it's PHP that is causing the problem. I setup the same environment locally that my hosting company uses and everything works perfectly locally, but still having problems online.
    Now I'm really confused...

    Yep, but it was optional in 4. A lot of hosting companies used it, most desktop installations didn't.
