PHP rpm problem
I did not know where to ask this problem so posting it here

The version of php used is 4.3.2.

1. If I say rpm -qa | grep php, I get mod_php4-4.2.2 and mod_php4-core-4.2.2

If I do php -v, I get 4.3.2. How could that be possible? I am sure the version which is being used is 4.3.2.

2. The second question is how different are the 2 versions? Could it pose many problems if I choose to revert to php 4.2.2?

Thanks

Hi !
1. Try to see what phpinfo() is returning. That's the right version of php Smilie
2. The diference is not so big... and if you don't know the diference betwen those two versions, probably you don't use that "different things". Anyway, on http://www.php.net/ you can get more informations Smilie

It can be that you have more than one PHP installations on your system. For instance, my ancient Mandrake system at work comes with mod_php4.xx with its Apache advx server but I also installed PHP 5 for work testing requirements. The Apache module loaded by the Web server is 4.x but on the command line the 5.0.x version is loaded (because it is in /usr/local which comes before /usr/bin). It's really confusing, so I plan to remove the 4.x with "rpm -e" sooner or later.

Try this. Do a "which php" and check whether the returned path agrees with the list of files returned by "rpm -ql mod_php4". Mine doesn't:

Code:
[testcn@bernardchan testcn]$ which php
/usr/local/bin/php
[testcn@bernardchan testcn]$ rpm -qa | grep php

I did not install the PHP4 executable from the RPMs, so there is no /usr/bin/php but Apache will load PHP4 with the shared object.

To add more confusion, the two PHP installations may actually read different configuration files (php.ini). So, to see the exact configuration you need to run phpinfo() with the intended PHP installation to find it out.
Code:
[root@bernardchan testcn]# echo '<?phpinfo()?>' | php | grep 'php.ini'
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/lib/php.ini

while the distribution php.ini points to /etc/php.ini. Confusing, huh?
