I was referring to compiling apache with both mod_php(3) and mod_php4, I
think it will complain.  Yes, the Zend engine will parse php3 code.
There are a few exceptions, but other than static variable behavior,
class member initializers and windows dll things, everything should work
as expected.  Most of the changes won't impact 99% of the users.  You
can check out specific problems at:

Much faster, too.  You may want to recompile and set ZEND_DEBUG=0 if
speed is a big thing.  Also, get 4.0b3.
