The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5.
For documentation on migration for PHP 4 to PHP 5, we would like to point you to our migration guide. There is additional information available in the PHP 5.0 to PHP 5.1 and PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.2 migration

I would have to agree with Christian. It is about time they ended the production of php4. Especially when php5 is so main stream now and php6 on the horizon.
PHP5 is the way to go, especially for object oriented programming. I wouldn't go back. If you get stuck porting applications from PHP4 to PHP5 that's what these forums are for

I am 100% sure that we will continue seeing hosting companies using PHP4 even after PHP4 ceases and PHP6 is out!
My current host just upgraded to PHP5 silently, you have to use .htaccess files to enable PHP5. PHP4 is still used. I was going to leave them if they didn't upgrade but they did it when I really wanted to leave -.-
