Did you see the mega thread that started from someone asking about PHP 4 
classes? :-)

Personally I've already written off PHP 4 support, and assume that people have 
PHP 5.  I have access to only one box that is older than PHP 5.2.0, and 
that's a 5.1.6 box.  

Here's a bigger question: When will people stop using mysql_ as their example 
API, when PDO is more standard in PHP 5 and more secure, and mysqli is 
available as well?

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
