"The problem with PHP5 is that there currently still is an incompatibility between the monobook skin and PHP5, causing MediaWiki to revert to an older look and feel if you use the newer PHP." Now that I installed PHP5 on my Appache Web server, I cannot find a way to get back the proper look'n feel of Wikipedia.
Already being worked on in 1.4. Currently waiting on some PHPTAL 1.0 bugs and incomplete features to be finished.
Have submitted patches for short_open_tag and attribute escaping bugs in PHPTAL 1.0 development code, awaiting inclusion. Remaining problem is the non-working i18n:attributes, which breaks the logo and search box.
Have submitted a one-line fix for PHPTAL 1(devel) which makes the logo and search button work, without localized text. I've also got a hack for semi-working i18n:attributes, but am not finished with it.
Current PHPTAL 1.0 development version from SVN and current MediaWiki 1.4 from CVS work together on PHP5, but manual install of PHPTAL and a tweak to LocalSettings.php is currently required.
MonoBook in 1.4 no longer requires PHPTAL; it will work out of the box on PHP 4 and PHP 5.
