It is in French but it says there the statistics are from July 2005, so
it is pretty recent.

I also am a bit surprised for the tremendous lack of interest to upgrade
to PHP 5. Ok, I expected that many people would not want to upgrade due
to the nightmare of dealing with backwards incompatible changes, but I
did not expect that the statistics would be so overwhealming.

I guess this should ring a lot of bells for those that expect to develop
products targetted to PHP 5, because the numbers seem to show that PHP 5
is a flop, despite PHP 5.0.0 was released more than 1 year ago.
