Sorry - that should have been clearer - I keep the current relase build
around so it can be modified. But when i upgrade i just untar a new php to
a directory and rebuild with the same configure string that you can find in
your current phpinfo() output. (granted as the times change...so does the
configure string) If you're running a live server, certian percautions,
obviously, must be taken and apache(?) restarted after php is rebuilt.
PS. Would anyone else be willing to re-regisiter for this if we could get
rid of the mega-spam that comes after each post. Is that a doable option?
This as always been a good list, but has diminished since spam got heavy.
