issues with php5.0

[dreamhost]

when trying to run the install script after updating our box to php5.0 and purchasing the zend system, cost thousands, I get the following error
Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in /home/**********
My other applications do not seem to have this problem in the new environment.

I can't seem to find any way around this, please help.

I will try that.
Is there a valid download that takes these issues into consideration?
I realize it is a bit early for people to be migrating to the 5 series, but it is now deemed stable and the most desired release.
Another thing that might help in the future, which is considered a good coding practice anyhow, is to actually look at the variables that php is using before trying to use them in the applications themselves. The list for 5.0 has been available for a long time now, months actually, and since the most recent releases of photopost have been released long after php 5, it seems that it would have been good to at least check to make sure that there would not be any variable conflicts.

Please consider making an immediate release that is cleaned up for at least php 5.0.0 as it is now the most stable and secure release of php to date.

did that workaround correct the problem?

I am getting the same error
