In those three years it has seen many improvements over PHP 4. PHP 5 is fast, stable & production-ready and as PHP 6 is on the way, PHP 4 will soon be discontinued. </p> <p> As such, the PHP development team announces that support for PHP 4 will continue only until the end of this year. After 2007-12-31 there will be no further releases of PHP 4.4. Except in cases of security issues that may arise. Security-only releases will also terminate on 2008-08-08. We strongly recommend upgrading your applications to PHP 5. </p> > > I think that reads better.
