I am using Drupal 6.20. This does not work with any PHP version other than PHP 5.3. When did Drupal drop PHP 5.3 support?

What sort of problem are you having. From the requirements page

Drupal 6: PHP 5.x only (5.2.5 or higher recommended). Warning: support for PHP 4.x has been dropped. Drupal core should work with PHP 5.3.x, but PHP 5.3.x and higher may produce errors or unexpected behavior especially for contributed modules and themes.

When the site is put on PHP 5.4, I get errors:

strict warning: Non-static method view::load() should not be called statically in ... modules/views/views.module on line 879.

In the opening post you state PHP 5.3 in the last comment you state PHP 5.4. A quick search of the views.module issue queue indicates views and PHP 5.4 are incomaptible.

The site works with PHP 5.3

The site doesn't work when upgraded to PHP 5.4.

My web host is closing out PHP 5.3.

How do I fix?

I've moved a few client sites to PHP 5.6. Most of what you get are warnings that don't actually affect functionality, just fill up the logs. There are quite a few patches to take care of those. I didn't run into anything unfixable. I wrote a blog post that my help.
