It will provided that the scripts use none of the deprecated elements
that were dropped in PHP5. For example, $HTTP_POST_VARS, which became
deprecated in PHP4, was dropped in PHP5. To convert a PHP4 script that
uses this to PHP5 you can either do a global search and replace or
else include $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST at the head of the script.
BTW, $HTTP_POST_VARS isn't the only one - I'm just using it as an
example here.

Best practice also changed. For example, mysql_escape_string() became
deprecated in PHP5 and in its place the manual advises use of
mysql_real_escape_string().

HTH,
