I'm finally biting the bullet and trying to learn PHP. My Dolphin application is on a shared server using PHP 4, but many of the tutorials I am reading suggest learning on PHP 5. I asked my host about this, and they said they recently bought a PHP 5 server, and offered to transfer my applications. I have a few questions about this. If they transfer my D6.1 site to this new server, will it still work even thought it was written in PHP 4? Will the new D7 - if it is ever released, work better on a PHP 5 server? Also, they told me they are using PHP 5.2.8 installed in CGI mode - what exactly does that mean? Is that good or bad? I have no clue.

p.s. If anyone has any good resources they can suggest for learning PHP I would like to know that also.
