My 2 cent point of view :
Since PHP4 is intended to be fully compatible with PHP3, and since you
are a beginner to the PHP language, why don't you begin it all with
PHP3, which works pretty well. A bit later, when you'll be a real PHP
master, PHP4 will have been released.
I assume that you do not need for the first times any of the new
features of PHP4. Furthermore, if you are to do some real application,
you shouldn't use any software that's in a Beta state (as good as the
Beta2 can be).
Just my point of view. if i were you, i'd do it this way.
Regards, CL
