Doesn't anyone believe in the term if it isn't broken, don't fix it? PHP and MySQL are some large apps, same with Apache 2.

I figure I may as well upgrade them all, what should I upgrade to and what order should they be upgraded in?

Off topic - sorry!
I'd love to use 5 etc. In fact, I'd love to use 4.3.3. But no. Fasthosts (my ISP) are stuck on 4.3.2 - "with no plans to upgrade".
So, anyone clever out there able to tell me how I can upgrade???! (3.0.something and waaaaaay overdue...)
TIA!

If they have no plans to upgrade, I'd have no plans to keep giving them money. Find another host.--filburt1, vBulletin.org/vBulletinTemplates.com moderator

PHP 5.0 was released in July of 2004 (almost three years ago). PHP 4.3.3 was released in August of 2003. We're not talking bleeding edge software here. Any webhost that has their customer's best interests in mind and wants to continue receiving their money should have later versions available. The current for PHP 4 is 4.4.6 and would not make any applications not compatible with 5 stop working. Those developers who haven't made their applications compatible with PHP 5 need to update as well.Translations provided by Google.

I'll update when Debian updates their packages, and that can take some time...
Right now, I'm using
Apache v1.3.33
PHP 4.3.10-19
MySQL 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge7
Hearing that "PHP 4.3.3 was released in August of 2003" almost makes me cry.

Thanks for the comments - I now have more ammo to use. I guess I'll just have to backtrack through the vB updates until I find one which will work with 4.3.2. Any ideas?
(I'd rather not switch hosts as I pay £49 GBP per year and that's it. No bandwidth charges or anything. That's about all I want to cough up for the site as it's for fun, not profit. So, I have to make the best of what I have!)

Some current (well, as of February) PHP version statistics:
PHP4 usage:
All other PHP usage:
I wonder if the idea is to give a gentle push in the direction of straight from 4 to 6. I can imagine that some of the big shared server providers would be looking that way.
