One incompatibility that I didn't see documented anywhere is that under php3, require (and I suppose include) would first look in the current directory.  In PHP4, you must explicitly put a "." in the include path if you want the current directory checked first.  This broke my main application until I figured out that it was getting the wrong head.php3. . .

Thanks.

There shouldn't be any change in behavior from PHP 3.0 here,
it's the same code.  In both versions, if you specify no
include_path at all, . (cwd) is assumed.  But if you do
specify an include_path, . is no longer assumed, and you have to explicitly specify it in order for it to work.
