No special things to do.  One issue you might notice is that global http 
vars are turned off by default (you know, the ones that show up at the end 
of a get url like:  http://myserver/script.php?var1=hello) and if you have 
scripts using them you may need to turn that on in the 
/usr/local/lib/php.ini file.

Also, some common function names for postgresql have been deprecated, so 
you may need to edit all your pg_* functions in all your scripts.  A 
global search and replace utility can handle that.
