Does anyone know where instructions on installing 5.2.1 are? The manual on php.net still has version 4 in their example. I need to install on a linux box and so there are no RPMs, just source files and I do not know how to do an upgrade like that.The manual on php.net still has version 4 in their example.Really? Looking at the page for install.unix, I see PHP5 references all over the place. In fact, it looks like the default choice in their instructions is PHP5, and then they offer a "...(or do X for PHP4)..." clause after that.Click Debian GNU/Linux installation notes.
I did find this one, but it's on an unfamiliar site. What do you think?
Instructions (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://laffers.net/howtos/howto-install-php">http://laffers.net/howtos/howto-install-php</a><!-- m -->)I'd say it sounds the same as the basic Unix instructions - you just have to watch the paths and make sure they are valid for your server.
If nothing else, there are APT repositories (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.apt-get.org/">http://www.apt-get.org/</a><!-- m -->) that have PHP5 available, if you're familiar with the apt-get command.
