Because most shared hosts can't upgrade their php because they're
reselling resold space. So until the owner of the server upgrades it,
they'll be using php4. I've heard many admins say there's no difference
between the two, but I prefer php5 over php4. But I still like to have
that compatability (which is why I run them concurrently).
It's kind of the same reason people don't use Apache 2.0 as much.
1.3.37 is still very stable and good, but there are improvements in
2.0. But because the reseller can't upgrade apache because he's not a
root user, they use 1.3.37 and the owner sees no need to upgrade.
I personally think we'll see php5 start to crop up more as php6 gets
closer and closer into release. It wouldn't surprise me at all if some
hosts jump directly from php4 to php6.

Can people elaborate why PHP4 is their only option. Trying to get the
big picture. :-)
