On a Debian or Debian-based system, php4 packages are (easily found with 'apt-get search php'): <p> php4 - A server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language php4-cgi - A server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language php4-curl - CURL module for php4 php4-dev - Files for PHP4 module development php4-domxml - XMLv2 module for php4 php4-gd - GD module for php4 php4-imap - IMAP module for php4 php4-ldap - LDAP module for php4 php4-mcal - MCAL calendar module for php4 php4-mhash - MHASH module for php4 php4-mysql - MySQL module for php4 php4-pear - PEAR - PHP Extension and Application Repository php4-pgsql - PostgreSQL module for php4 php4-sablot - Sablotron module for php4 php4-snmp - SNMP module for php4 php4-xml - XML module for php4 phpdoc - Documentation for PHP4 and PHP3 <p> PHP3 packages are, for the most part, the above with '4' replaced by '3'. <p> Remember that if you are using one of the database modules to have a database server. For a single-server configuration, install the postgresql or mysql clients. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the php modules themselves provide full client support for the databases so you don't need e.g. postgresql-client (unless you want to use the database outside of php of course).
