I really think you ought to take a look at PHP 5 -- I used it for my latest
project (I'll admit that I only did so because the project was an experiment
and I had nothing to lose, but I'm happy I did anyway) and it made a big
difference, well beyond the OOP stuff.
Incidentally, Jason's book on Design Patterns covers *both* PHP 4 and PHP 5
(when appropriate, there is code for both versions, and the differences in
implementations are explained).

Thanks :)
