The active development on php4 is strictly to fix bugs or security issues. If your current code works on any 4.3.X versions, it probably is best to keep it there unless something you need to require an application that is dependent on php5. php5 is the newest version available, providing (as mentioned) an improved OOP interface and includes (by default) xmllib 2 for xml processing. >From my experience, I've had to just modify about 5 lines of code to make a 1000+ line php4 application to run on php5. At this point of time it isn't really necessary to upgrade unless you are developing new applications for php.
