[BlueOnyx:12202] PHP5.4 breaks Squirrelmail

[Chris Gebhardt - VIRTBIZ Internet]

The customer that needed PHP5.4 for his website has found that now 
Squirrelmail breaks.  It is likely due to some deprecated calls being 
completely dropped from 5.4.

Here's what is presented at login:
  Fatal error: Call to undefined function session_register() in 
/usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/global.php on line 253

FWIW, http://squirrelmail.org/ does mention PHP5.4 compatibility. 
However, since we're pulling Squirrelmail out of the CentOS repo for 
5106R, my guess is we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for that to get 
pushed out to us.  Especially when you consider that CentOS 5 will not 
be offering PHP5.4.

Would it be easier to patch Squirrelmail to work properly on the new 
PHP, or to have Squirrelmail run on the PHP 5.1 that the GUI already 
runs on?   Comments?
