I maintain software that needs to run on PHP/5.1.6 because that’s what the customer’s Linux dedicated server has and I maintain software that runs on PHP/5.3.5 because that’s what I installed in their in-house Windows server. That’s why, before starting coding a new project, I always find out some basic environment specs.
As for development, I prefer to keep up-to-date with the PHP interpreter and reasonably conservative with my code (currently, 5.2.0+ if possible).
