    I have currently working a Red Hat 7.2 system that installs PHP 4.0.6

from the CD and it works fine. I want to upgrade to ver 4.3.0 what would be the simplest way to do this without breaking any of the old modules etc. I wont mind making changes to my scripts in case of changes between versions.

If your old PHP was automatically installed by RH then just do an "rpm -e php" (maybe rpm-r php-4.0.6. To find out the write string to use to rpm -qa | grep php)

    Do i need to remove the old PHP installation before building the new one

?

No, if you don't you need to take extra steps. And I can't see why you want to keep the old version around anyway.

    Would using the configure command that shows in the <? phpinfo() ?>

currently (with 4.0.6) work with the ver 4.3.0 ?

Most probably. SO I suggest downloading the 4.3.0 source files and doing a ./configure with the options you can from phpinfo() and then compiling :) Jc
