Program is not (yet) compatible with php5

[earthquake]

After visiting the requirements page, we discovered that we needed php version 4.3 or higher.
We just bought a brand new server with PHP version 5.2.3 installed so we thought this would be fine.
Yesterday we had a chat with support and they told us that the program is not compatible with php5 or higher.
The problem is that converting is a background task which isn't supported in php5. I need a new convert.php from the programmers.

The team is working hard now to get 3.0 compatible with php5, so i have to wait for a while. Keep you guys informed.

p.s.
Switching back to 4.3 was impossible because we have other sites running on this server which ain't 4.3 compatible.

aryos is THE programmer here

i did many things to get 2.6 working (and at the moment you see 2.6 online) but with 3.01 i had no troubles from scratch at all.
just the old probs with the thumbs and so on, you know, the small probs cs makes *ggg*

i only went back to 2.6 cause chris hasnt developed his template for 3.01 yet....

Don't understand... why does Aryos tell me it is impossible to get 3.0 working with php5 and yours is running well?
How do i get mine working?

I have proceeded to compatibility changes for PHP 5, in 3.0.1. This is a private build, not yet released. Perhaps "alter_knacker" has this private build from Danny (doubt that). What I'm guessing is that he has some other than the default PHP 5.x configuration. Today, I will be testing the changes I have made, in a PHP 5 environment and let you know. 3.0.1 is NOT PHP 5 compatible, at least for a default PHP 5 instalallation. "alter_knacker" just got lucky. What I didi was that I dropped the "dev/nul" requiements for executing "exec()" commands. It has worked for PHP 4.x and should work for PHP 5.x.
