I agree with Jonas on this. At least try the old system on PHP 5. If
it was not using any of the OO features, chances are it will not require
many (if any) changes.
You need to move sooner or later. Why lock yourself into PHP with your
new code?
I also agree with Pavel - you need to look at your design again. The
fact you're running into this problem shows it's in trouble, and that
will get worse.
But I don't necessarily agree with the fup to only comp.object.
