It should be ok with most current apps, but I would run them on a test server first if it's something mission critical. Php's site has migration info (http://www.php.net) which should be helpful for custom scripts. Also the vendor sites should let you know if they will work with php5. I haven't run into anything that won't in quite a while, but your mileage may vary :-) You will need to completely remove php4 and ALL extensions then rebuild them with php5. FWIW, their site says that they will still have critical patches for a while, but all official support stops at the end of December.
