php4: not supported, use php5

Tim wrote to PHP internals list, asking:

is there any intention to backport this simple but important bugfix to PHP 4?
Many PHP users are still using PHP 4, and it's not a very well advertised fact that
it does not properly support arrays with more than 64K entries.

Markus Berger responds:

Just change to 5.

It seems that MediaWiki HEAD branch will drop php4 support soon.
