PHP 5

Surpass Hosting have finally got around to installing PHP 5 on this server, so I thought I might as well switch this site to it.

Only one minor problem - the fact that it's installed as CGI stopped my HTTP authentication from working, so I just stuck %{HTTP:Authorization} into my RewriteRule to force Apache to pass the variable. Not sure how secure that is, but meh.

I'm not too fond of surpass myself, because of their numerous problems for me (including The Retarded Bug: POST a form with "Perl" (in any capitalisation, WITH a space afterwards (I had to add this because it 403'd here too. Oh the irony.)) - bam, 403.) but they work for most people, so, <b>meh.</b> / Comment from e|hird on 09 Jul 2006 at 13:28.

<b>Meh</b>, fixed. Stupid mod_security. / Comment from Robert Marshall on 09 Jul 2006 at 14:06.

You have now prompted me to fix it myself. My lazyness, however, will assure that never happens. / Comment from e|hird on 09 Jul 2006 at 16:05.
