I have some plugins
<http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/aaroncampbell>, and a
couple (optionally) collect anonymous statistics on things like this.
Here are the PHP versions take from one of those plugins
<http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-google-analytics/>. The
sampling is 939 unique sites.
4.3.4 - 1 site
4.3.9 - 8 sites
4.3.10 - 8 sites
4.3.11 - 36 sites
4.4.0 - 4 sites
4.4.1 - 4 sites
4.4.2 - 11 sites
4.4.4 - 24 sites
4.4.6 - 10 sites
4.4.7 - 54 sites
4.4.8 - 132 sites
5.0.3 - 1 site
5.0.4 - 3 sites
5.1.2 - 11 sites
5.1.4 - 3 sites
5.1.5 - 3 sites
5.1.6 - 28 sites
5.2.0 - 36 sites
5.2.1 - 14 sites
5.2.2 - 9 sites
5.2.3 - 21 sites
5.2.4 - 41 sites
5.2.5 - 216 sites
5.2.6 - 261 sites
That's 292 sites (31.1%) on 4.x and 647 (68.9%) sites on 5.x (598 or
63.7% on 5.2.x+). While it seems PHP 5 is definitely taking off,
roughly 1 out of every 3 users is still on PHP 4.
Hopefully you find that useful.

Hi to all Testers!
Recently I stumbled about some issues with PHP4 and I think about
dropping PHP4 support for plugins etc. and the Wordpress related
projects I contribute to.
I do not know if there is an official statement by core wordress devs
on that issue, but the PHP core developers made their point very
clear: End of Live for PHP 4 is 2008-08-08 that is the 8th of August
this year - just some days left. Then not a single security update
will be published for the fourth version of php. I strongly believe
only some admins with strange policies will continue to have that
version on their servers since PHP 5 does greatly fit and is downwards
compatbile.
But these things byside. I just want to know from the big testers
audience here wether or not they still use PHP4 and if yes, what is
the exact version. Are there PHP4 testers left? If you use PHP 5,
please write down your version as well.
Thanks,
Tom
