My client is looking to switch from a previous oscommerce install so I am trying zen and I would like to know if there is a specific production-ready fix I can make for this problem.

Am I correct in assuming that I should not go live with the workaround in place? If so what is the correct methodology for fixing my issue properly?

My configuration is:

Webserver = Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat)
PHP 4.3.2
MySQL 3.23.58 (I know - incredibly old - maybe I should switch hosters)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
You answered your own question.
New 2.0 (when out) will require PHP 5.2 and MySql 4.+
