Ah, so I always had CLI version there. I just didn't know it was in /opt/local/bin. Thanks for the command to upgrade to 5.3.
There is PHP4 at /usr/local/bin (came w/ OSX, I think), and my PATH variable is set so that bash shell looks in /usr/local/bin before /opt/local/bin. What's the best way to handle this? Should I just modify the PATH environment variable so that bash looks in /opt/local/bin first? Thanks.
