I'm new to PHP development. After I signed up new hosting package, I found that my web host is using OLD PHP, that is PHP Version 5.2.17! The latest version is 5.4.14/5.3.24

What should I do now? Should I change the webhost or actually PHP Version 5.2.17 good enough for web development? Please advise the pros and cons of sticking with old version.

If this is a shared webhosting environment, ie. you can only install software via things through a web interface, then yeah, change hosting providers. Even if you can manage to get a more up to date php running for yourself, you will be hosed if someone else on the same box gets hacked.

Same story if you are on a shared hosting box(multiple people logged into the same OS instance), but you are only chroot jailed. The system can still get compromised, causing you problems.

If you are on a XEN/VPS virtual machine instance, then yeah, upgrade that php.
