Its been 3 years since the first release of PHP 5, and it was surprising to see that as of last month the penetration for PHP 5 was still floating around 15% (source http://www.nexen.ne). That’s a hell of a lot of PHP 4 development still going on! Myself included (did i say that out loud?). Many hosting providers and popular applications like WordPress are still widely supporting 4, but be weary, with the discontinuation of 4 there’s going to be a lot of rewriting and migration going on (FYI Migration Guide). Gees i hate updates!
