It should be backward compatible ;) After a couple of tries if went through ok. Needed couple of modifications on the file php.conf included in Mirrors-htdig.tgz. The results page looks a bit different than the one on http://www.php.net results (This can be done with ht://Dig templates AFAIK). I'll try to fix the instructions for setting up ht://Dig with recent version of it. The main issue is the enormous amount of time it takes to index whole site, so indexing once a day isn't an option (and not needed IMHO), unless you run mirror on some quad-xeon box. Here's the result when I ran the last one with "time ./rundig" real 328m10.172s user 59m27.410s sys 14m24.940s And I ran it on my own server at home with local copy of phpweb.
