Re: [PHP-DB] how to upgrade php in linux

hai dan
thank you for your suggestion regarding the google thing..
thank god u said me that or else i could have never known that google will
get me all the results.
dude i just asked this question thinking that some one would help me find
the solution not for fun.
regarding the thing of compiling i require it to be done,

hai kesavan
 thank you for the help i have done that search and i found the things but
the thing is that it is an old version of the gcc that is still exisiting in
the yum repository.
i require one dependancy apr-1.3.3 for the compiling of httpd 2.3.5  which i
have found out, but the thing is that it requires two more dependancies
uname >=2.6
and rpmlib<=4.4.6 which are  not available in the yum repo..

i better try to do this on my own..
thank you guys for your help
