Hello,

I'm just curious, I see all the source code is in PHP 4, but can I use PHP 5's OOP's features?

Of course, so long as you're running PHP5 on your server. The source code is written to be compatible with PHP 4 for obvious reasons. You are not obliged to code your application the same way.

I dont think you can use all of the PHP5 OOP features like interfaces... I might be wrong..

I think I might have got the wrong end of the stick. Can you give an example of what you mean?
