[SC.LUG] updating php

[Nev]

hi

hindsight huh.. i went for the raq because it was suggested.. lol. i guess i
didnt do my homework to see what can/cant be done. however i'm stuck with
it.. at least for the time being! out of curiosity.. what in your opinion is
a better option to go for?

i wouldnt know a build kit if it slapped me in the painful bits :s or how to
build an rpm... without quite a bit of homework.. and a suitable platform to
test on! to start with i'll hunt forums.. 'i luv raq' sites etc and see what
i can come up with. i a very suprised a product like this isnt easy to
upgrade! especially in the manner i wish.. i mean.. php seems to be
upgraded/patched bi-weekly..lol! 4.0.6 is so dated now!  sorry i shouldnt be
going on!

i so wish i knew more about the murky depths i'm swimming in

i'll let you know what i come up with!!

cheers :)
