So does this mean I should upgrade from PHP 3.2? Are there any incompatibilities with my existing code?

Maybe someone can look over my login script and tell me if this will work in PHP5?

$query_login="select * FROM user";
$result_login = mysql_query($query_login) or die("Your passwrod is might be bad I think");
//$login_check = mysql_num_rows($result_login);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result_login))
{
$username=$row["username"];
if ($username==$username1)
{
echo "";
echo "window.location.href='login_error.php?rec=qq';";
echo "";
exit;
}
}

I hope that code is a joke...

damnit i hope so, that's some scary shit right there...

the SQL query is too scary for words, you should be able to check the login details with a single SQL Query and no looping involved...
and if you insist on changing the page location after execution what's wrong with header("Location:login_error.php?rec=qq");?
