There isn't a dramatic difference in minor version updates for PHP (or any other language). You can use the book you have to learn PHP5 and pick up the differences in updates through the version release notes on PHP.net.
I agree. Use the book that you have and learn by doing.
Try by making small programs first.
Learning book is not enough practice as much as you can.. and do learn javascript too ,, it is very helpful
