ok
I logged in and downloaded the php file then untarred it.
Downloaded the updated CURL and untarred/installed it
Downloaded GD, untarred, compiled it
downloaded ming untarred it too
then changed into the PHP untarred directory and entered that configure line changing the locations of Ming, GD etc to it will find them when compiling.
Also, if u use Zend Optimiser, you need to upgrade that afterwards too.
