Bad choice of words.
I was comparing PHP4 to PHP5 and how long PHP4 has been around compared
to PHP5, it's bound to be more stable aint it?
I was not trying to say PHP5 is not stable because im sure it is very
much so.
Or am I not allowed to say anything like that in this forum?
Ill just silently exit through the back door then :)
