Surely this would prompt web hosting companies to upgarade their systems to PHP 5, and we could start using some of the features of PHP 5 in mainstream deployed apps.

Well, the deadline has passed (Feb 2008) and still it seems many hosts are still offering PHP 4. Worse still, they dont seem to know how or when to upgrade existing clients without breaking PHP applications. Can’t say I blame them. Upgrading apps from PHP 4 to PHP 5 needs to be done on a case by case basis.

PHP 5 is 3 years old now. It’s taking a long time to shake off PHP 4 and all the problems associated with it.
