Not the typical n00b question

hi all,
I have decided to actually learn php rather than figuring out what my predecessors left me with and avoiding any actual use other than updating tables.
Basically I was at the bookstore and noticed some books on php and said "you know I really ought to know some server side stuff instead of the basic client side biz". Long story short I picked up a book. "PHP 6 fast and easy web development". So far so good everything makes sense and all my "tuts" are comin up gravy. Further in it says hey lets create a phpinfo () and see what happens and go over our results.
Results the host I use is running version 5.2.5 (I might be wrong about that third digit)
I'm learning version 6 and have had no real working knowledge of php before this.
I searched and could not find a release date for 6. Did I just screw up royally and pick up the wrong book? Also has anyone dealt with godaddy before in terms of updating the version of php on a server?
I appreciate your time and look forward to learning the language and hopefully returning the favor of knowledge to those who need it.
Thanks,
