Yes, I'm also running RH 7.2 and I have the following: [edhill@XXX ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i php php-4.0.6-7 asp2php-gtk-0.75.17-1 php-imap-4.0.6-7 php-ldap-4.0.6-7 php-manual-4.0.6-7 php-mysql-4.0.6-7 asp2php-0.75.17-1 [edhill@XXX ~]$ installed on my system. Did you look for the package on the second CD? I don't have the 7.2 CDs handy, but I'm 99% sure it was included... Ed -- Edward H.
