You have the opportunity to get paid to learn another language. Give it a go, if you don't like it look for something else and by that time you'll have proof that you can pick up new (not 'recent') languages quickly.

But if they ask you to work with PHP 5.3, leave.

Or don't be part of the problem, inform them that that version has been deprecated for years, has serious security bugs, and suggest they upgrade as soon as possible.
