phpBB need to fix their instructions.

That is all.

Ah, thanks for going through with it Graham!

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

I must say, I found it exquisite that PHP stopped running upon facing a warning. I'm from the time when PHP would look at a warning and go "oh, hey, dev? You seem to have fucked up real bad on your code. Ah, never mind, I'll just keep running like nothing happened! You're welcome!"

And thank you for putting up with the nonsense, Graham!

Yeah, php has gotten pretty good these days. Not great, but much more sensible. I might even start using it again in some projects.

I've been meaning to do this update for a while. Turns out I completely missed a couple of versions, because I'm terminally lazy.
