Is there something explaining how somewhere? http://www.php.net/manual/en/installation.php Or, just 1. Download the source. I'm sure you know where to find it. :) 2. Unpack. For example, if you've downloaded the xxx.tar.gz version, $ tar -xvzf php-xxx.tar.gz 3. cd to the resulting directory 4. run $ ./configure --with-your-options-here --together-with-additional-options NOTE: Find out your present configuration options as stated earlier. 5. run $ make 6. change to super user mode (root) 7. then run $ make install That should do it. (Unless, of course, you encounter some "configure" or "make" problems.) Don't forget to restart your webserver (Apache, I assume). $ service httpd restart And, I assume you're using linux hence the "$" sign... - E - __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
