PHP4 is quite stable with the exception of the ISAPI version on > Win32 (which has known problems under heavy loads). I've been using the php-3.x.y versions since they came out, and 4.x.x even from the first betas, and apart from a very few mishaps which I personally blame myself for, for always wanting to have the newest CVS version of php 4 running, _everything_ has been: - more stable - faster - more functional - more configurable Do not call php4 unstable :-) _UP_grade, it's worth it.
