Development on PHP3 stopped months ago and all support has been halted on it by Zend. PHP3 is dead and has long since been replaced by PHP4. PHP4 is a very stable product and has had serveral patches released already to add more features and not stablity issues. To support PHP3 now would be a waste since by the time w3t is complete in PHP3 then they might be ready to work on PHP5.

Plus ewaddle isn't the way to handle sessions in PHP3. You use phplib to take care of sessions in PHP3. phplib is better code and it's cleaner too
