I’m the main developer of the AutoDirector online car showroom software system. It’s a great product that allows anyone to set up their own car dealership. In fact, they can set up hundreds of car showrooms, even on free webspace. The product was one of the first systems to use AJAX – way before the term AJAX had been thought of!
I’ve been planning AutoDirector 2.0 for some time. One possibility is that it will be PHP5 only (AutoDirector 1.0 works in PHP4 and PHP5). This will allow quicker development and some nicer features. It’ll also encourage the adoption of PHP5 throughout the webhosting community.
But, I’m wary. Could a PHP5-only version kill the product? There are still a great many PHP4-only hosts; supporting both platforms would still best commercial decision.
What do you think? Is PHP5 viable yet?
