There is an incompatibility between the monobook skin and PHP5

Description:
"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.

Thanks a lot, i'll wait for the 1.4 stable release to install it on my
production server.
