I'm giving a PHP course next semester (3 hours all saturdays for 22

think it's a good idea to teach them 5.3 already.
Does it _really_ matter which one? I can't imagine there are that many
revolutionary changes in a dot-release.
Given the naming of PHP versions of PHP-x.y.z, I would agree that not
much changes between versions at the .z level. But at the .y level there
are usually significant changes.
Coming to a PHP 5.3 near you are the following notable features:
- namespaces
- closures
- late static binding
- garbage collector to handle cyclic references
- PHAR
- goto
Cheers,
Rob.
