I just ordered a book on php5, mysql and apache. Now I hear there are some problems with php5. So should I cancel the order and take a year older book instead that deals with php4?

I understand there are some ways to circumwent the problem but for a total newbie like me I´d prefer using a older version of php if that is less hassle, so is it still an issue or has it been pached?

Drupal is going to work in php4 or php5. I have it running fine on both. I have run both 4.6 and 4.7 on php4 and php5.

Have you also succeeded with mixes involving MySQL5?

I have a system running mysql 5 and one running 4.

Mysql 5 works but there may be some issues with the sql queries. http://drupal.org/node/43316 talks about one issue and the work around.
