[wp-testers] PHP Version Usage Report

Hi to all Testers!

Recently I stumbled about some issues with PHP4 and I think about dropping  
PHP4 support for plugins etc. and the Wordpress related projects I  
contribute to.

I do not know if there is an official statement by core wordress devs on  
that issue, but the PHP core developers made their point very clear: End  
of Live for PHP 4 is 2008-08-08 that is the 8th of August this year - just  
some days left. Then not a single security update will be published for  
the fourth version of php. I strongly believe only some admins with  
strange policies will continue to have that version on their servers since  
PHP 5 does greatly fit and is downwards compatbile.

But these things byside. I just want to know from the big testers audience  
here wether or not they still use PHP4 and if yes, what is the exact  
version. Are there PHP4 testers left? If you use PHP 5, please write down  
your version as well.

Thanks,
Tom
