Hi everyone,

I need to install an older version of PHP - 5.2.16, which is not currently
available through an official CentOS repo (as far as I can tell).

In order to fulfill our developer's requirements, I've decided to just
compile  PHP and MySql from the source.

Is there a way to find out what are the usual configure options that are
used to compile binaries that are available through yum?

iuscommunity* repo also provides latest php and mysql-server versions.

http://iuscommunity.org/

Thank you.  I've been to this website, but it
has php52-5.2.17-1.ius.el5.x86_64
I need 5.2.16....

why? Usually .17 works same way as 16. only minor bug/security fixes..


This is from CentOS website:


 *
IUS Community Repo - (See http://iuscommunity.org/ - 
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-docs/2009-November/003730.html )

'IUS is a new third party repo for RHEL that provides the "latest upstream 
versions of PHP, Python, MySQL". It is sponsored by internal work at Rackspace 
(but officially unsupported).' See their Wiki Client Usage 
Guide<http://wiki.iuscommunity.org/Doc/ClientUsageGuide>to install the 
ius-release package to configure the repo.

Caution is suggested in using this repo as it will replace core packages. See 
also their FAQ<http://iuscommunity.org/faq/> which frankly discusses pros and 
cons.

I am not sure if I want to use it in a production environment....

Asya
