Whats php4 like as a scripting language?

What's php4 like as a serverside scripting language?
I've just recently heard of it, I hear it has good DB support
How does it compare to other serverside scripting e.g. ASP,
Java, CGI etc. on this and other issues.
Cheers
Jeremy

its very good, a bit fiddlier that asp but very strong once you get used to
it.

...and it installs into IIS so you can run asp and php, actually if you add
resin you can also run jsp/servlets from iis and have the best of all
worlds.
