Well you've got me stumped now. I don't know if anyone else on the list has any suggestions.
All I can suggest is that you download the php sources from the php website, and try and compile php yourself. It's not that difficult to do. You will also have the advantage of being able to compile the latest version to use on your distro, as upgrades are made available. You will need the mysql development libraries to compile php against. Keith In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not.
