I am relatively new to php but am getting very good at programming. I have a dedicated server which is running PHP 4.3.11. My question is:
What might go wrong with some of my scripts if I upgrade to PHP 5?
The reason I ask this is because I have heard there are some major differences and some features that have changed from 4 to 5. I don't want to tell my hosting company to upgrade to 5 if I am going to have problems arise from it? What do I need to look out for when considering this upgrade? Thanks so much for your help and advice. Take care.
PHP 5.. the big question...

Check out this page: http://www.zend.com/manual/migration5.incompatible.php
this link should help you a bit: http://www.php.net/README_UPGRADE_51.php
what i would do is set up a test local server and try your scripts out. If they dont work, dont upgrade
edit: sami beat me too it, i think both links will help though
