This average Joe PHP coder found no problems running programs written
for PHP4 on PHP5. The only "opportunity" I encountered was a
tightening up of the rules. I can't remember the exact details but one
of the content management systems had a line of code that was
guaranteed never to produce predictable results. It was guaranteed not
to work even on PHP4, but now it's flagged as a fatal error by PHP5.


As others have pointed out, it's easy but not required to separate
presentation and processing logic with PHP.

      the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not
      smart enough to debug it.
