I also used to prefer precompiled distributions, but recently I managed (again) to compile the latest PHP on a Mandrake 9.0 installation. The problem however is that it's still quite a lot of work and especially getting all the right versions of the library files is frustrating because their interdependency can be very intricate. If you are also using Mandrake, you may want to buy the June issue of www.linuxformat.co.uk which includes the download version of Mandrake 9.1 on two CD's. (And a third CD with extra stuff, like the latest GIMP.) It costs 5.99 pounds. Here in the Netherlands I bought it for 14 euro. When you order a similar distribution from Mandrake itself it costs about twice as much (and you don't get the magazine) and it will probably at least take some days to arrive. The CD's contain PHP version 4.3.1. There is also a version of the magazine with a double-sided DVD, but I didn't see it in the shop. I installed Mandrake 9.0 from the DVD that came with the magazine PC Pro of May 2003, but in that case I had to burn three CD-R's from it first. That doesn't seem to be necessary anymore, which has the big advantage that you don't have to stick around during the installation to replace the CD-ROM's from time to time.

[PHP] Re: upgrading php...
You will need to upgrade Apache to 1.3.26 due to security hole. As we all know, Windows is very vulerable to virus like worms, so with the Apache's hole, it make it easier for hte virus to get in. So, better upgrade to 1.3.26 as soon as possible, this is where hte hole had been fixed. FletchSOD Phil Schwarzmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

[PHP] Re: upgrading PHP
Has anyone come up with an upgrade proceedure for upgrading PHP to a higher version? I totally depends on how PHP was installed in the first place, and what OS you are using, and what features you need, and... There are wizards now that can maybe handle this for you. http://zend.com has one. PHPTriad. NuSphere's thingamabob. Various distro's RPM-like tools. And a bunch more. -- WARNING [EMAIL PROTECTED] address is an endangered species -- Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wanna help me out? Like Music?
