Re: RPM Updates

[Peter Hodge <toomuchphp-phpinstall@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've never used an RPM before, but I can't imagine the PHP RPM would be
complicated as installing PHP is usually pretty straight-forward.  You may even
want to compile PHP yourself, it's not so difficult ... in fact PHP is the
first application I ever compiled.  It's also handy to be able to re-compile
later with more features.  Just be wary of stray PHP4 executables which may be
left behind in /usr/bin.

regards,
Peter
