In Unix-like boxes is difficult to upgrade PHP version. You have to compile
from sources, break package system and handle lots of library
incompatibilities. Also, Linux distros designed for servers tend to test
software for quite long before releasing it (for instance, current version
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux includes PHP 4.3.9 if I recall correctly).
So it's rather common to find old versions out there. Choosing a
development version is more a question of "where am I going to run my
scripts?".
In general, I tend to ignore the latest when I do web development. You
often depend on computers you can't control and are slow to upgrade (think
on CSS and web browsers). And it's also pretty common that fashionable
technologies of today are simply death three years later. I still regret
having learnt ASP ;-)
