Official end of support for PHP4?

Is there an official date for when support for PHP4 will end?

I keep reading this date and that on various sites and blogs, but can't find anything on the PHP website.

Am I overlooking something?

PHP4 was no longer developed since 2007-12-31, although some security issues were still taken care of up until 2008-08-08. Just before that, the latest version of PHP4 was released, being PHP 4.4.9.

Also interesting for those still supporting PHP4: MySQL 4.0 support has ended as of 2008-12-31, and MySQL 4.1 support will end at 2009-12-31.

Please note that some distributors still "support" PHP4, like Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. But actually there is no valid argument for still using PHP4, it's so old that only people with NO maintenance budget will need it.

PHP4 is already way past the support. I think support ended more than a year ago.
