PHP, PHP5 tags merge

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I know PHP5 is very different from previous versions and that all (its a new version!) but do we need a split between the tags php and php5?

Are not talking about the same thing in the end? Can you not figure out which version is refereed in a question just by reading it?

On the same note do we need a python2 and a python3 separation in our tags?

I say php5 is still php and there is no need to be so specific on the tags.

Should php and php5 be merged?

Since php4 is no longer in the repos, and php5 is installed by default, there really is no need for a php and php5 tag. php5 should be a synonym of php. However, since both python2 and python3 exist in the repos, there should be separate tags as I've come to learn python2 and python3 are very different.
