  Old  PHP 4 or PHP5?

Hey Everyone,
So which version of PHP are you guys using these days? I am using PHP5 on my local server but for most apps that I create for clients i'll code them in PHP4, but recently i've been leaning more towards PHP5.

So, what about you guys?

My host isn't using PHP5, so I'm still using 4 at the moment.

Yeah most hosts wont use PHP5 for a while, mainly because most apps have been programmed in PHP4 so they wont really work on their servers. But it wont be long until most hosting companys start using PHP5. I've noticed a lot more people picking up on PHP5 rather than PHP4.

Are you a developer?

Have you checked into PHP5 though? Or are you just going to wait for a while?

PHP 4 for me since most servers haven't taken on PHP 5 yet. 5 is backwards compatible so stuff will work in both but make something for 5 and try and run it on a PHP 4 server and you're buggered.
