Hi Phil,

What you need to remember is that when you compile php from 
source, you get 3 types of executable php files.

(On Centos 5.6 packages)

First there's the command line versions

/usr/bin/php
/usr/bin/php-cgi


Then there's the apache php module, called
/usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so that gets loaded once into 
memory as an apache loadable module, when apache first 
starts.

It sounds to me like you have compiled php yourself, and 
installed the apache module libphp5.so for the version you 
just compiled.

If you restat apache and load a php page with this in it:

<?php
   phpinfo();
?>

That should show the options you compiled your version of 
php with.

Now, if you still have the old previous version of php 
installed, and do # php -i from the command line, you will 
not see the same compile options as the version you 
compiled.

If you are going to compile php yourself from source, it's 
best to uninstall any previous versions that are on your 
system. Start with a clean slate, so to speak.

HTH
