Custom fields are great for storing various meta data about a post. However, if you routinely need to display posts that have a certain custom field value, you should consider switching to a custom taxonomy, which is better suited for grouping posts.
With this simple plugin, you can convert all custom fields with a certain key to terms in a certain taxonomy, while maintaining the post association.
Note: If you’re looking for the old version, see Custom Query Fields

Make sure your host is running PHP 5. The only foolproof way to do this is to add this line to wp-config.php (after the opening <?php tag):
var_dump(PHP_VERSION);
