Hello, I would like to update the php package on a old SuSe 7.3 box. Because there are no further updates available I decided to download the newest version 4.3.10. I have never updated php in these constellation. Is there a reason why I should not do this or could this be a problem? Thanks for any hints Stefan

Then visit PHP site (www.php.net) and see the Changelog between your version and the newest one. I guess there will be differences in PHP settings such as register_global (now it is off by default).

Hi,

I did this on a 7.2 and had to recompile apache+mod_ssl as well. Due mod_ssl openssl had to be upgraded also. I did all from source, works fine but needs some time. Make sure you have the dev packages installed. If you use a lot of other modules, they need a recompile as well. As the source packages install in /usr/local, you can check first if everything you need is installed, then backup init script and conf, remove the SuSE packages with rpm -e and start the new server. Compile against SuSE Sources did not work for me, but try this first. Ciao, Dieter
