Php 5.3?

[rishk789]

I've not been with BlueHost as long as (I'm guessing) many of you have, so I'm wondering how quickly do the admins implement a new version of PHP? 5.3.0 was released today. :)

My understand is that 5.3 doesn't support the "register_globals" setting (see: http://php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php). This may mean that they won't use this version. Register globals is kind of a security risk anyway, but some scripts require it to be on. I figure that they'll test it and see if there's a work around for those kinds of things. But I would say IF they do, it won't be for some weeks.

It takes about three lines of code in each script in order to do away with register globals. Five lines if you want to actually make the script more secure at the same time.
