Description:
------------
I was setting up PHP v5 along with MySQL v4.1 and all was ok and I also setup phpMyAdmin and all was ok but when I went to install phpBB with PHP v5 and hit submit , it just takes me back to the same page I was on. Register Gloabls is turned on so it can't be that , I want to know why PHP v5 always fails to run the scripts I used to be able to run. The egg hatched too soon.

Mine is similar to this Bug Report but how do you explain PHP v4 working flawlessly when PHP v5 just reloads the installer page I was previously on ?

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30599

Expected result:
----------------
For phpBB to finish with the installation , only PHP v4 works.

Actual result:
--------------
When I submit the form data in the phpBB installation I just get redirected back to the same page I was previously on. :/

Note: I searched before posting this bug report.

PHP5 is not completely backward compatible with PHP4.  That has never been claimed.  People need to review their code and make sure it works with PHP5.

Are you saying that some of the variables/functions from PHP
v4 are now removed ? How do you get these scripts to work ?

Please do not reopen this.  It is not a bug, and this is not a support forum.  The changes are well-documented.  See http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration5.incompatible.php

You need to talk to the phpBB people to fix their application.
