Re: borked install - cannot downgrade

[Peter Hodge <toomuchphp-phpinstall@xxxxxxxxx>]

The PHP installer is a savage beast.  When it works, it works.  When it
doesn't, it can be very hard to figure out what went wrong.  If I was in a
position and had the expertise to do so, I would love to add some robustness to
the installer so that maybe once in a while it would tell you why it didn't
work.

regards,
Peter

P.S.  Did you know that PHP 5.1.6 is out and ready for you to install?
(www.php.net)  ;-)
