is upgrade from PHP 5.2 to 5.3 a problem for Snippetmaster?

[dizigniz]

The hosting provider for my site that has Snippetmaster installed has sent me a message that they are upgrading from  PHP 5.2 to 5.3.
Will this cause any problems to my site?

I don't believe there are any problems... 

...but if you see anything not working as expected just let me know.

I just updated to PHP 5.3 a few days ago and snippetmaster is no longer working for one of our important clients.  The following error comes up.

Code:

Fatal error: Incompatible file format: The encoded file has format major ID 1, whereas the Loader expects 4 in /home/<username>/public_html/change2/index.php on line 0

Using the following:

Code:

PHP Version => 5.3.6

Zend Extension => 220090626
Zend Extension Build => API220090626,NTS
Zend Memory Manager => enabled
Zend Multibyte Support => disabled
This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies
    with Zend Guard Loader v3.3, Copyright (c) 1998-2010, by Zend Technologies
report_zend_debug => Off => Off
zend.enable_gc => On => On
Zend Guard Loader
Zend Guard Loader => enabled

The version they have is 2.2.2 PRO and I have the license key (SM-PRO-xxxxxxxxxxx...) from the "program_settings.php" file.

Either way, I need to know if this is upgradable or not so I can get them working or look into moving this to its own server, change editors or downgrading PHP & Zend (which isn't really an option as time goes by)

This looks like a problem with the Zend Encoder on your server not working properly.

Can you send me an email to with your ftp info and I'll take a look?

Thanks.
