Hello, Generally (well, actually 100%) I just use whatever version of PHP is included with a certain distro (Redhat pre-Fedora, Fedora Core, CentOS). None of the versions I've used have come with PHP5 and I'd really like to get with the times and use PHP5. I know that Fedora Core 5 offers PHP 5.1.2 but I've heard some negative things about it in general (FC5). I've never compiled PHP myself so admittedly I'm a bit skeered... Is the recommended path to just go with whatever distro I prefer and then download PHP5 from php.net and install it myself? Thanks, Chris.
Yes, I would recommend that. If you are serious about using PHP for a while it would be benefitial to you to understand the installation aspect of the language. If you are comfortable with the command line this should be pretty easy for you. If not it will be a bit harder but still very possible. Here are installation instructions from php.net:
