I know it's not for tomorrow, but I can't find any clue on a date, even imprecise, whereas I found a report dated november 2005 ( http://www.php.net/~derick/meeting-notes.html ) where they already talk about PHP 6.
In fact, I'm maintaining a tutorial on Apache, PHP and MySQL, and I wonder if I should wait for PHP 6 to update it, given the fact that I'm already one version behind for MySQL.

NC -> well, sure, these hosting companies just don't care... the webmasters are the ones who care, it's a pain in the *** to need something like PHP_Compat for your scripts to work on your host whereas it works fine by itself on your local testing server...
Otherwise, well, PHP 6 should have some interesting improvements, like no magic_quotes, no register_globals, no safe mode (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Php#Future_development )

I've heard that the big thing of 6 will be a new OOP framework. No dates though just "later in 06" from one of the guys in Paris.

Why bother at all? Most hosting companies out there still happily run PHP 4...
