PHP6 will feature a hold bunch of changes to make the language much better. Backwards compatibility be damned. Finally, PHP6 will usher in proper namespaces and such.

PHP V6 will offer many improvements and will clean up some of the functionality that has been in older versions of PHP. To take advantage of the new features and cleanup, read through the NEWS list (see Resources), as it will contain the most up-to-date information about what is included (or not included) in PHP V6. You can download developer versions of PHP V6 today and start making sure that your applications are unaffected by the changes. You can also take this opportunity to clean up your own scripts, removing any of the deprecated functions mentioned in this article or updating your syntax to make sure that your applications are supported.

The Eclipse project for Java has released a new version for PHP. I'll be download and trying this out tonight. I actually use Kate, but Kate has some stupid bugs such as not indenting stuff when I tell it to do so.

This project will encompass all development components necessary to develop PHP and will facilitate extensibility. It will leverage the existing Web Tools Project in providing developers with PHP capabilities.

As of the end of this year, there will be no more PHP 4 updates. I don't know who is still using PHP 4, but I suspect most people are using PHP 5 as I am.
Quote
The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5.
