Not sure if anyone else has noticed the rising amounts of questions, but im hoping to get some answers that might help others look in the right derection.

Whats the changes from PHP4 to PHP5 ?
whats the changes from SQL5 to SQL5 ?

Sence you cant realy take a sql 4 db and import it into a sql 5 server and expect it to work correctly.
what can be changed in the sql db's or in the modules script to reduce future problems?

With may of the modules, most users will be going to a 5 on 5 server ( PHP5 and SQL5 ) and for this, Most modules are based on a 4 on 4 server ( PHP4 and SQL4 ). These modules will not work, and only give you a blank page.
where should users look to help make this modules work in a 5 on 5 server?
