John-
This would best be asked on a Red Hat list, but I can tell you that if you
are using Red Hat 7.3 I would not really count on getting them to release
PHP 4.3 as once a major Red Hat release is out they usually only provide
security updates - NOT feature updates.
Red Hat also modifies the version numbers to reflect the security updates
so if you have PHP 4.1 on Red Hat 7.3 it might be PHP 4.1.25 which is the
Red Hat number.
You can look around on www.rpmfind.net or www.freshrpms.net for an updated
PHP, but it may not be compatible with the Red Hat version you are
running.
In the future if you want to count on program feature updates you would be
best to install Apache, PHP and MySQL from source.
