Although it hasn't been thoroughly tested, it may
be possible to use
MediaWiki in PHP5 by disabling PHPTAL. This means you won't be able to
use the new monobook skin, or any other PHPTAL skin. Add the following
line to LocalSettings.php:
$wgUsePHPTal = false;
As of current CVS, this mode will automatically be used when PHP 5.0 or
higher is detected for hassle-free installation.
As far as I know everything _else_ should work on PHP5, just the PHPTal
templates don't (yet). This is an annoyance, but PHP 5.0.0 was only very
recently released and isn't in general circulation yet, so it shouldn't
hit most people.
