[nmglug] php4 and php5 on Red Hat Enterprise 4

[jason]

I think it's not possible to load both as modules, I believe they will 
conflict. If you need to run php4 and 5 on the same virtual host you 
should run php4 as a module and compile php5 as a cgi. If you just want 
each virtual host to be able to choose between php4/5, then suPHP can be 
used to call either, but not both at the same time.

This rpm from rhel5 should work on rhel4.
http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/source/SRPMS/php-5.1.2-5.src.rpm
Also CentOS has some repos with php5 in them...

Let us know if you need more detailed instructions.
