Which point are you referring to?

This point. What made you write so? Is it something critical ?
"PHP 5.0.x isn't
very stable with the new Apache 2.0"

I apologize for taking so long to get back to this message, I forgot
about it.

I don't know what the problem is between PHP5 and Apache2. All I know
is that there are warnings everywhere stating not to use them together.

I was recently talking to an Apache hacker about the issues, and I
really didn't understand what he was talking about. I'm just a lowly
scripter trying to learn Java at the moment. But if you are still
interesting in this topic, try an Apache group or a C programming group
(Apache is written in C).

Sorry I'm not much help.

The Oracle (oci8) extension seems to have issues resulting in intermittent
crashes in PHP5 that don't happen in PHP4 - these persist in PHP 5.0.3. If it
weren't for this I'd have upgraded since the rest of PHP5 is good.
