Just to add to this, the code in the mod is valid  PHP5. As PHP4 is now at "end of life" with no more security updates it is certain to be removed from hosts in the same way that PHP3 was. MY host offers a choice of PHP4 or 5 - but has stated that in early 2008 PHP4 will be removed with PHP5 remaining. I can really see little point in rewriting the module so it will work in a soon to be gone environment.

Fixed in SVN rev. 1025. That code is now compatible with PHP 4 (and PHP 5, of course).
