But we have to ask ourselves, why haven't the hosts upgraded to PHP 5?
It is because, until just recently all of the Linux distributions still
included PHP 4 by default. Really, what hosting provider is going to
take the time to compile PHP from source when your OS distribution
provides an RPM, even if it is an out of date RPM.
This is just a cop-out. Any good web host is going to have good
sysadmins. And good sysadmins know how and will take the time to find
other options.
1. Run a distro with a half decent package manager that actually updates
packages.
2. Build your own package once, and distribute it as necessary.
3. Compile it from source anyway. Good sysadmins have a system to
manage source installed packages anyway.
