We would have mentioned in the release notes if PHP had been upgraded.
RedHat have not issued any PHP upgraded for RH7.1, so we have not upgraded
as a matter of course.

Try fetching the php 4.0.6-7 RPMs from my contrib directory, and using
them instead of the arvin RPMs. The src RPM is straight from RH7.2, but
has been recompiled so that the binary RPMs exactly match the library
dependencies of SME 5.x.

Before upgrading PHP, you will need to install some new prerequisite
libraries. Do:

CB=ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/RPMS/i386
rpm -Uhv $CB/pspell-0.11.2-2.i386.rpm \
     $CB/libtool-libs-1.3.5-8.i386.rpm \
     $CB/libxml2-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm

After download all the php RPMs,  the command:

rpm -Fhv php*4.0.6-7.i386.rpm

will upgrade all presently installed php RPMs, but not attempt to install
any which are not currently installed.

Or you can do:

rpm -Uhv $CB/php-4.0.6-7.i386.rpm \
    $CB/php-manual-4.0.6-7.i386.rpm \
    $CB/php-mysql-4.0.6-7.i386.rpm \
    $CB/php-imap-4.0.6-7.i386.rpm \
    $CB/php-ldap-4.0.6-7.i386.rpm

> Also, what is the reasoning for the upgrade in Apache, but not in PHP?

RedHat have issued an updated apache RPM for RH7.1, but not for PHP.
Moreover, we needed to fix apache to solve a problem with backup/restore,
but PHP still works fine with webmail, which is the only thing that we use
it for.

If days were infinitely long, we would have liked to have upgraded PHP for
this release. But they aren't.
