Here's the question:

Which of these two versions of PHP is the latest (the most current of the two)?

5.2.17
or
5.2.4

Just so this doesn’t sound like a totally stupid question... I have been told by a coder that 5.2.4 is the more current of these two versions.

It is my contention that 5.2.17 is the more current.

For my argument I referenced the php.net website with this link:
[php.net...]

The info below is from that page:

5.2.17 Released: 06 January 2011
5.2.4 Released: 30 August 2007

Also, in the php5 changelog at this link:
[php.net...]

5.2.17 is ordered above 5.2.4

The coder's response is "Release date does not mean the most current version".

So, I put it to you all to please set me straight on this...

Thanks! :-)

(edited to fix my version typo)
