PHP 4.2.3 is out !

as root do this :

# wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/buildapache.sea
# sh ./buildapache.sea

and when you see :

Select skill level:
1) Beginner
2) Advanced
----&

press Ctrl-C

# cd buildapache
# wget http://rs1.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.2.3.tar.gz

then edit file buildscript (ex. # pico buildscript ) and change these lines:

echo -n &Untarring php....&
tar xfz php-4.2.2.tar.gz
echo &Done&
cd php-4.2.2

to

echo -n &Untarring php....&
tar xfz php-4.2.3.tar.gz
echo &Done&
cd php-4.2.3


and finish it with running of building script:

# ./buildscript



Update:

I also recommend for serious use of mysql php integration(faster, more stable better) to change
these values in 'buildscript' to switch from built-in mysql libraries to these original mysql ones:

this value is in buildscript twice, change both

--with-mysql

to

--with-mysql=/usr

 

I did a mistake sorry

On the end you should execute

# ./buildscript

!! not # ./bs (it will overwrite your changes) !!


Also my typical steps are little bit different:

Select skill level:
1) Beginner
2) Advanced

I choose Advanced, go through all setting and when actual compilation starts press CTRL-C and do the same like above and finish with ./buildscript
