what happened!?
I'm on * MediaWiki: 1.5.1 * PHP: 4.4.1 (apache)
Upgrade to 1.5.4 immediately.
Not only did we release an upgrade to fix this problem with PHP 4.4.1 a couple months ago, but you're vulnerable to several known security problems.
Are you subscribed to mediawiki-announce? (You're not subscribed to this list, at least.) You should be subscribed to one of these lists to ensure that you receive release announcements.
If you are running a MediaWiki instance on the internet or anywhere else that is accessible in any way to other people, you *MUST* keep abreast with releases. There are security updates, and we are in NO WAY responsible for your failure to keep up with updates.
You should not be running *ANY* piece of server software without keeping up with updates to it. Please, please, keep up with release updates and install the security updates.
