Re: [PHP4BETA] start learning php4 new features

There isn't really a PHP4 way of doing things. It's mostly the same as PHP3 but with new functions and better performance. The things you benefit from in v4 like sessions probably aren't covered in that book anyway. Just go through the book and do the examples and use the current manual (on the site, it includes v4 functions) as your function reference.
