php 4.4.5 got a lot of problem including problem with uploading files and more

so please be caution if you upgrading to this version
 
Many of our client's php scripts stopped functioning correctly after we upgraded to 4.4.5 including some of own which work fine under 5.x.x and 4.4.4. We ended up downgrading back to 4.4.4 because of the amount of complaints we received. Not sure what happened but someone dropped the ball on this one.
 
not sure it's coincidence or what, I upgraded to php 4.4.5 and rebuild everything, server crashed...

I'll be very interested to see any error messages related to your Php scripts after the upgrade.

Not sure of the error messages from some of the users but the most common problem was blank pages being displayed when submitting form information or just requesting a php script. We experienced this as well with Modernbill 4 (yes I know, Modernbill sucks, we are working on our own billing script at the moment and yes we compiled Zend after upgrading as well). You'd go to request to login and you would get a blank screen. If you were ordering a package, after you got to select a package screen, only half the page would load preventing users from ordering packages.

Any ideas why this happened?
 
make sure you set

upload_tmp_dir = /tmp

in php.ini if you are having some upload issues. Otherwise, wait for 4.4.6 or downgrade for now.
 
The new 4.4.5/6 and the 5.2.1 implemented new security features to harden php a bit and they will break php scripts. It is almost like a entire new branch from the previous releases.
