Re: php upgradation
Welcome to the DevNetwork forums.
If you run your website on a shared web host, you'll need to contact them and ask about upgrading to PHP5. Otherwise, there are many ways to upgrade, it all depends on your operating system, and if it's Linux, it depends on whether you've installed binary packages or compiled them yourself.
As for backwards compatibility with your current coding, most of it should run perfectly fine. Here's a link explaining the differences between PHP4 and PHP5.
