 * Seeking info on how to convert a WP theme currently setup at one host to run 
   with PHP4 MySQL4x so that it runs at a different host who only runs PHP5.2.6.
 * Running WP 2.5.1.
 * Also, is it possible to run two different WPthemes one setup for PHP4x other 
   for 5x on same server?
 * Thanks,
    Robert

 * why do you think you need to do anything to the theme? Theme files call core 
   wordpress fucntions. WP runs just fine on PHP5 without doing anything to a theme
   file.

 * Just my limited experience with PHP and database setups. The designer I got the
   theme from mentioned the theme is specifically setup for PHP4x. Perhaps I misunderstood
   and they meant it works with PHP4x and up? So any theme will run with PHP5.2.6
   on WP 2.5.1?
