I think many people who have php5 server, code there own code in php4 compatible code, because they don't know better because so many tutorials and the userguide is in php4 compatible code.
And i think that's bad news for the following reasons:
- self documenting of php5 is better (readability of the code increases): knowing if a method or member is private / public / protected / static / final etc.
- Advantages of PHP5 over PHP4 with some magic methods and many more (see PHP 5.3)
- But most important: PHP6 has unicode and more advantages, and PHP6 is not compatible with PHP4
