the only major area of incompatibility I've found is in XML/DOM
handling. PHP5 does a much much better job of this, with a standard
built-in DOM object as well as the convenient SimpleXML API. But it
doesn't do PHP4's dom_xml, which has been retired (there is an
extension that will do dom_xml in PHP5, but its not recommended)
But if your existing PHP4 code is not doing anything with dom_xml then
it should run just fine under PHP5. There is however a (fairly short)
list of known incompatibles
<http://us3.php.net/manual/en/migration5.incompatible.php> but nothing
that should require a lot of rewriting.
