RE: [PHP] PHP3 vs PHP4 -- anybody know the numbers?

Try to look on netcraft.com, though I don't know if it sorts by numbers. One thing for you to consider is that a single non-upgraded shared server (like those web hosts for 20$ a month) are having a hell bunch of sites and every and each of their users are 1. usually with few money to invest in development, 2. have PHP3 installed by their hosts (hopefully not in a safe mode and with some db usage allowed) and are in need of finding good and solid Open Source php software for their business need. Yup, that still happens often.

I'm preparing a script to release on some of the script directories and had a quick question about PHP3 and PHP4 usage. Does anyone know roughly how many more people are still using PHP3 or have switched to PHP4. What I've done since I'm using objects and also PHP3 is to explicity set class names since commands like get_class() isn't available in PHP4, plus a few other things that I've had to hard code to get around some things that PHP4 has that I wanted in my PHP3 code. The reason I wanted to know was, should I in the code I release, keep it in PHP3 functionality or switch it up to PHP4-only routines? In other words, are there enough people besides myself using PHP3 to both making it PHP3 compatible? Any advice?
