For a basic php-4.0.2 compile it isn't too involved.

with php-4.0.2 enable-gettext and enable-zlib options are broken
(they work in 4.0.1pl2 but the configure script breaks them in 4.0.2)
but most people don't try those features anyway.

Make sure you have apache-devel installed, and for php-4x with gd
support (you want gd support) you want gd-1.8.3 and gd-devel-1.8.3
installed. If they aren't on a YD mirror, I can put them on my ftp
server.

make sure to compile --with-mysql if you plan to use php with MySQL
(sounds like you do).

Finally- the way to know if it works-

testing 123 That will show what your php can do. mysql should be displayed on that page on your server if its working. You will need to modify your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file for the php- but the readme covers that. Good luck! >At 9:12 PM +0200 on 9/11/00, Michael A.
