... 4 is what I'm writing about, so it's would be a good idea for me to outline the basic differences between versions 3 and 4 (version 2 is now no longer used). PHP 4 has basically been written from the ground up, while based on PHP 3, to be faster and more efficient. PHP 3 tended to run very slowly with high-traffic sites, and PHP 4 has been written with high volume traffic in mind. There are also a large volume of new functions available with PHP 4.
