    Is anyone out the running aMember with PHP version 5 or better?

    I am having to upgrade my PHP for an OAF application and I don't want to mess up my current PHP 4.4.6 install.
    Any tips or gotchas?

    :)

    All working fine with PHP5.

    Of more concern is your php.ini settings...

    aMember can run with safe_mode enabled. (if you have Ioncube / Zend loaded as php extensions)

    Some payment plugins like the PayPal ones require certain functions to be enabled like fopen which could pose a security risk.

    Disable all dangerous php functions you can, then test aMember or search the code for the functions you disabled to check they're not in use.

    magic_quotes_gpc can be turned off, since aMember validates and cleans form input itself. If you leave it on you sometimes get double backslashes appearing in forms.
