Regards,
Gaël Why do you want to know? Since php is a OSS-independent package you should be able to install it even on a OSS 10.2 system. (if that's the question)

I think 10.0 - I can't find php4 on 10.1 and used it on 10.0

php4 and php5 are uncompatible (you can't have the two on the same install - some modern apps need php5) and php4 is no more available through Yast. This is an issue, because there is at least on critical bug in php5 I can't cope with that was not in php4... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, and is currenlty, no longer supported.

That's incorrect, you can run PHP4 and PHP5 at the same time, one using apache module and other using fastcgi.

jdd what the hell are you talking about ?

youself did answer this to my post next week :-) and I could not find a workaround ( jdd escribió: ives an image with utf8 displayed as iso (I beg)
http://fr2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php says: Strings in UTF-8 encoding can be passed directly.
any idea?
Yes, you are not the first person with this problem, there is a similar report on buzgilla. looks like a bug in either php bundled libgd or freetype2.. have not found the real cause yet (maybe when back from the beach the next week I will =) ) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This problem is far from being "critical" ;) altough I still dont know what is the cause. ( thanks for the reminder though ;P )

it is critical because it prevent using imagettftotext for any non english langage and workaround is really hard to find. I will need to use imagemagic and rewrite a complete script I made one month to do... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It is not critical from my point of view, but I just fixed it ;) a fixed version might appear in bundle with future security fixes.
very good news :-) lot of thanks, it will save me much work :-) just a question: before really writing a bugreport I had to verify this was really a bug and not my own error. I browsed many french forum without much luck and was prepared to ask in english ones. in similar case, do you think better to fill openSUSE bugzilla of the (I suppose existing) php one? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

first try updated packages, then see if your problem still exists or not,(and say so ;) ) if still does not work, make sure it is a bug or report it in bugzilla, if it is not a bug, well ..it will be marked as INVALID. ;-P

I know what you mean, but such statement could be misleading: 10.0, inc. the php4-4.4.0 package, _is_ still supported by security updates (but of course bugs that are not security relevant will very likely be closed as WONTFIX).

Hi,
Why do you want to know?
I will have to keep for at least a few months (but probably more) some php4 web sites and I'm not interesting in compiling php4 from source or building an rpm. I would prefer, if possible, to use suse's rpm and its security updates. From jdd's answer, by using OpenSUSE 10.0 I should be safe for another 7 months Regards, Gaël

From jdd's answer, by using OpenSUSE 10.0 I should be safe for another 7 months well in that case I'd really recommend you to try to install them seperated, since you only want to use it for websites, it should be possible to install it in a way only apache is using it. (like jdd said, Yast won't be helpfull here since it will block the two packages).
