The PHP version numbers are the same for every os/platform.  Ditto for
MySQL.

There are a handful of Linux-only functions, and possibly a handful of
Windows-only functions for PHP.

I don't think MySQL has any OS-specific functions/features...

You're probably not using anything OS-specific, but always check the
docs on new-to-you features/functions to see restrictions.

If you NEED 5.x, there are hosts who have it deployed on [some] servers.

http://hostbaby.com springs to mind, but I'm biased, as that's my
favorite hosting company. :-)  They also have MySQL going all UTF-8,
which is a Good Thing for your long-term survival in today's WORLD
wide web.

I think http://webmasters.com is upgrading to PHP 5 within the next
week or so.

I'm betting that you can get PHP 5.x out of http://pair.com, since
they host http://php.net and you gotta figure they're on top of things
like that, eh?

YMMV
NAIAA
