Sorry - that should have been clearer - I keep the current relase build around so it can be modified. But when i upgrade i just untar a new php to a directory and rebuild with the same configure string that you can find in your current phpinfo() output. (granted as the times change...so does the configure string) If you're running a live server, certian percautions, obviously, must be taken and apache(?) restarted after php is rebuilt. PS. Would anyone else be willing to re-regisiter for this if we could get rid of the mega-spam that comes after each post. Is that a doable option? This as always been a good list, but has diminished since spam got heavy. > be careful with any scripts that may have used auto registered globals, > which was just changing(but i think was changed) in 4.2.2. $postedvar > becomes $_POST['postedvar']. hth jeff
