...and here we go again...
See what you started, Ryan? Why couldn't you just leave your hands off
and let us stay on PHP 4.2. Damn you :-)

It's been out for 3 years, and PHP 4 development has ended!
Factual statements, both of them. Recent statistics have placed PHP
4.2 at below 2% of all PHP installations, the most popular being 4.3
and 4.4. PHP 5 is creeping up there, depending on where you get your
stats. I think most shared hosts do allow you the option of either
PHP4 or PHP5. I have found several that don't, but not as good as
the others that do.
I think the people who are going to complain the most are those on
dedicated servers, which made it difficult to upgrade over the past,
say many years that PHP 4.2 came out. I think it is fascinating that
people of the small minority are still running 4.2.
After 8/8/08, no updates, including security patches will come out
for PHP 4.4.x branch. This means that users running those versions
will have to upgrade or risk being exploited when a security hole is
found in PHP 4.4.x.
