Hello I'm developing an open source software and it requires PHP5.I made a version for PHP4.I want to know which is better to make the official release for php4 or to continue with the php5 support only and post a php4 version (as alternative).

The reason that I hesitate is because the php4 version is a bit slower, bigger and it uses more memory usage, but it has bigger range for using.

    There's absolutely no reasons to support PHP4 anymore. Commented Jun 11, 2011 at 19:12

I would just stick with PHP5 only.

Who still uses v4 anyway ;)

Don't try to support both since it would mean more work for you :)

PHP4 isn't official supported anymore, so pure PHP5 version makes more sense.
