Strict version in PHP 4?

Just wondering, does the PHP 5 strict version work in PHP 4, or is it PHP 5 only? Thanks.

It's PHP 5 only. Note that "Strict" has nothing to do with HTML 4.01 Strict/Transitional.

I'm quite aware of that; it's just I thought that the changes might be backwards compatible, as I'd like to get rid of all errors, yet still support my PHP 4 users.

It's practically impossible to write portable code that is E_STRICT compliant for two main reasons:

1. is_a() is deprecated in favor of instanceof, which is PHP5-only 2. static methods must have the static keyword, which is PHP5-only

OK, thanks. I personally don't use classes, since I don't need them, so I was unaware of those.

Oh and one more thing. Can I steal your navigation CSS, since it's exactly what I need?
