 The Repository Admin scripts fail when using PHP4. There is PHP code
 written in the scripts that inform the user that PHP5 is required, however
 the PHP4 parser complains about the unknown try/catch before the version
 checking code can be executed. The result (when using PHP4) is a cryptic
 php parse error which requires the user to debug the code.

 To fix this, I would suggest writing a standalone script to check the
 version that will run without parse errors on PHP4 and PHP5. This way, the
 user will see a nicely formatted message that PHP5 is required to run the
 Repositotry Admin scripts.
