PHP 5.2 works fine with HEAD.

>> PLESK 7.6

>> Horde Applications
>> Horde: 3.0
>> Imp: H3 (4.0.1) (run Imp tests)
>> Passwd: 3.0-cvs
>> Turba: H3 (2.0) (run Turba tests)

You really need to upgrade these versions, if simply because of  
security concerns.  And how can we make PHP 5.2 work with versions of  
our software released 2-3 years ago?

Simple solution: upgrade Horde and its components.  If you can't (or  
don't want to) upgrade Horde, then don't upgrade PHP.
