php4-4.3.10_2 to php 5 questions

[Ken Hawkins]

I hope that someone can point me in the right direction. i have  
installed php 4 (quite some time ago0 and now it is time to come into  
the new millennium. anyone have a pointer or two (possibly a website)  
that might help in this transition? i am hopeful to fine something  
that will update all of my php packages:

php4-4.3.10_2       PHP Scripting Language (Apache Module and CLI)
php4-bz2-4.3.10_2   The bz2 shared extension for php
php4-ctype-4.3.10_2 The ctype shared extension for php
