Well turns out i'm the one at fault here since I contacted my hosting company and they have a script that lets me set things between PHP 4 and PHP5. I can also individually set different scripts to run on PHP 4.49 and the newer PHP5 through this command script. I'm hesitant to set things to php5 right now as I just finally managed to finish getting things back to normal for the wiki 1.6 that i'm running now. Is there any benefit to upgrading to the newer version of wiki that I should be aware of?

There's no logical reason to still be running PHP 4. It's old, buggy, insecure, and unsupported. Current versions of mediawiki require 5.1 or higher. If you cannot upgrade PHP then yes you are stuck with 1.6. Which is also unsupported.
And if your host refuses to upgrade to PHP5, switch hosts.
Any host still using PHP4 and refusing to upgrade doesn't deserve any business.
