All my old sites are running PHP4 with absolutely no intention of
upgrading them to PHP5. Too much trouble.

Probably. PHP5 has a different (better) way of doing a lot of stuff.
However, they have taken lots of care in working on backwards
compatitibly. Your best bet is move your site to PHP5 in a test
environment and make the necessary modifications to have it work
right. If you don't use objects/classes you might not have to change
anything at all.
