The list archives should have plenty of posts from myself (and others!) regarding the recompiling/reconfiguring of PHP and the installation of GD lib. > I'm researching whether to upgrade PHP from 4.2.2 to 4.3.6 or just upgrade > the GD Library from 1.8.4 to the latest.

Well one way to base your decision on salient facts is to find out what has changed between the 4.2.2 & 4.3.6 (and the intervening versions) by reading the changelogs. Then decide whether the bug fixes and improvements are worth your while to upgrade to. > I'm totally new at installing apps via shell...if anyone is interested in > doing it for a small fee please let me know! If you're using a pre-installed dedicated server then it's more than likely it has a version of RedHat on it. You may be lucky and be able to upgrade PHP via RPM. But AFAIK RedHat has never (or hardly ever) provided PHP upgrades. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Windows 99 has been released!
