[dundee] Upgrading PHP version

[gordon dunlop]

No need to use the Fedora 7 repos as there is a Fedora 6 php rpm.
A guide
http://www.paulbenetis.com/2007/08/17/how-to-upgrade-php-on-fedora-6-core-actually-most-of-the-distros/

The rpm link - search for php-5.2
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3

Obviously there are a lot of dependencies such as httpd, php-common 
php-cli and various libraries (I do not know what you have got already 
installed). If you install php with rpm it will tell you the missing 
packages so that you can download and install them . As long as there 
are not a lot of packages (I reckon it should only be php, php-common & 
php-cli - remember to install them in the correct order), it should be 
okay, I used to do this with Xen.
