PHP version 4 or 5?


Prosequimur

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

I have just changed to a host which allows me to choose between PHP version 4 or 5. I am still learning my way through PHP as my first proper scripting language. Typically, I tend to learn how to do something when I need to - not a very good way, I know! I was trying a  script and found that the command file_put_contents didn't work. After some research, I discovered it was a PHP 5 only command.

I was wondering if one of you experienced coders could give me a quick low-down on the pros and cons of both versions. I am currently on PHP 5 (because I assume that the most recent version is the best) but lots of people seem to prefer sticking to PHP 4 - but I don't exactly know why! Could you give me the advantages etc of each and recommendation for which to use?

Thanks a lot!
