Hey Folks

Thanks for the replies.

The biggest issue I had related to the pear packages in particular.

Scanning through the list further now I'm awake I have finally located the
php4-pear-4.4.1p0.tgz package which will allow me to install everything I
need for my applications.
(although btw, I'm a little uncertain why you would install any
/usr/local/bin/pear, which calls /var/www/pear/*, with standard php4-core
when it just wont plain work... :)


As for why not PHP5, because not every application I want to run has
certified their compliance with PHP5, or just plainly states their stuff
doesn't work on PHP5.


Thanks again.

Shane
