There will be no updates after 31-Dec-2007 for PHP 4 version. According to the PHP development team ~ support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only
You can easily upgrade to PHP 5 but please keep it mind that – few old php scripts may not work. Following application does works 100% with PHP 5 and MySQL 5:
a) WordPress blog software
b) Vbulletin and PHPBB forum software
c) Phpmyadmin MySQL admin software
d) Drupal 5.x CMS and many other softwares

Thats really good to know. Im really tired of web-hosting companies mixing php4 and php5 together to get both working for customers who want either.
Its high time to upgrade to php5-only.
Php 5 also offers good performance with OOP feature.
