Actually, I think we developers and freelancers will find ourselves using whatever the client has available on their server.

Honestly there is no reason anyone should or needs to be using PHP4.x since it is no longer actively developed or patched. It is open to vulns and really its older than IE6. We all know how we feel about it still being used. Seriously I’d find a host that had at least 5.2 currently.

I agree with Susan. We use whatever is available... and yes sometimes that may include 4. Not all clients are willing to change hosting (specially if that wouild mean messing with email accounts) and not all hosting companies worldwide are as up to date as you might expect. I work with a university that maintains their own in house servers and they still use 4!!! Since it is not commercial we cant demand it. Apparently they run some legacy software on the server that either wont run on 5 or needs to have a paid upgrade to 5 compatible version.
I still waiting for webhosters to compile with PDO for revolution.
That might be another good poll.
