hi, it depends on how u install it.. if u install it with rpm, u could use the rpm features to upgrade ur installation of php.... if u install it from source, u could simply replace the older version by simply configure and install the latest version... once u are done with it, simply restart your apache webserver... hope it helps, regards, James Panos Katergiathis wrote: > Hello > > I am new to installing PHP, yet i am a guy who likes to read.
