To actually install php later, however root is necessary } 1. get the source of the lasted php: http://php.net/downloads.php or quicker: http://www.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.0.6.tar.gz&source_site=www.php.net go to a directory where you want to unpack this file, and untar it: e.g. cd /usr/src tar xzf php-4.0.6.tar.gz then go into the newly created directory (cd php-4.0.6) and run the following commands in this order: (/opt/interbase may be different for you, check) ./configure --with-interbase=/opt/interbase --with-apxs make (this will take a few minutes) (then, become root (if you are not), because you will actually install php now.) make install basically that's it! the php module dor apache is now in usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so (at least on my SuSE7.2) and interbase is included. Now just check your php.ini and your httpd.conf Well, on my system that's it, hopefully on yours aswell, if not drop a line good luck, yves
