PHP 4 and the integrated Zend engine have greatly improved PHP's
    performance and capabilities, but great care has been taken to
    break as little existing code as possible. So migrating your code
    from PHP 3 to 4 should be much easier than migrating from
    PHP/FI 2 to PHP 3. A lot of existing PHP 3 code should be
    ready to run without changes, but you should still know about the
    few differences and take care to test your code before switching
    versions in production environments. The following should give you
    some hints about what to look for.
