Hi--

I'm currently running 4.0.4pl1 on RedHat 7.0 and I want to upgrade to PHP 4.2.2....is there anything special I have to do BEFORE or AFTER the install?  Or is it just a straight re-install of PHP on top of the current Version?  THANKS!

It depends on whether you are doing a compile from source install or with rpms.  If you are going to compile from
source,you may want to save the configure parameters that you used with 4.0.4pl1.  To do this, put <? phpinfo();
?>in a script and run it through your web browser.  You will the configuration parameters at the top.  <br /><br />

No special things to do.  One issue you might notice is that global http
vars are turned off by default (you know, the ones that show up at the end
of a get url like:  http://myserver/script.php?var1=hello) and if you have
scripts using them you may need to turn that on in the
/usr/local/lib/php.ini file.

Also, some common function names for postgresql have been deprecated, so
you may need to edit all your pg_* functions in all your scripts.  A
global search and replace utility can handle that.
