Strange.. I didn't have much in the way of problems upgrading to PHP4. I went to
RPMFIND.NET and downloaded everything I needed to run it. When did you download your
MOD_PHP? I remember getting mod_php-4.0.1pl2-2mdk.i586.rpm just after it posted, on
July 24... Don't forget to look, cause you need apache-1.3.12-14mdk and mm-1.1.3 to
run it...

If you look at RPMFIND.NET and find the mandrake compiled rpms for MOD_PHP (long list,
I know), you might find that your missing the seperate RPM for
mod_php_mysql/pgsql/imap etc...
I can't tell you for sure if the PHP4 commands work (cause I haven't tried any PHP4
based commands yet - I've only just started learning it), but the rest of my system
has been behaving properly.
However, if you find out your still stuck, I've kept the RPMs I've downloaded, and I
could send them to you off list...
