Description
Would it be possible to revert the PHP 5.3 requirement for MythWeb? This would make it possible for the souls that adhere to a more stable architecture to also run MythWeb. Attached patch should make that possible.
I have tested on CentOS 5 x86_64 with
PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Nov 29 2010 16:47:46) Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies
with Xdebug v2.0.2, Copyright (c) 2002-2007, by Derick Rethans
I know you think this might not be a secure version, but the CentOS development team does backport security fixes, in order to maintain their LTS.

No. This will not be applied for a few reasons.
- PHP 5.3 is the current stable release of php. It's been released for a year and a half now.
- PHP 5.2 is end of life.
- PHP 5.1 was end of life November, 2006. It's been 4 years.
- The code isn't a complete replacement for the functionality currently used
- The code is god awfully slow and memory hungry

Since I am having issues attaching the patch to Trac I have posted it here: http://mythtv.pastebin.com/6XLAR5ms
