What about the argument that PHP4 is dead.  It's done.  It's over. 
There is no reason anyone should be using it, less perhaps a lack of
time to tweak scripts for an upgrade from 4 to 5.  Even if that is the
case, get to work :p

"Support for PHP 4 will be dropped at the end of the year, 8 months from
now. So now is the time to start upgrading all your scripts as we won't
be releasing new versions after December 31st, 2007."
