Upgrading PHP

[rainborick]

Anybody know of a good tutorial for upgrading PHP on a Linux (actually CentOS) system running Apache. I'm just starting out running a virtual server and I have just enough knowledge to know I need to be careful. Thanks!

What version of php are you migrating from? Here's from 5.1 to 5.2: [us.php.net...] the others are there, too.

Sorry. I'm upgrading from 4.3.9 to whatever the latest stable 5.x is. I spotted a page on php.net for 4 -> 5.x, but I'm hoping for more directions on the actual upgrade process rather than the changes to the language itself. Thanks!

I have installed this yesterday but not able to understand how to add MySQL support to this. Inside PHP.ini its details are there but I am not getting details in phpinfo.

Downloaded libmysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll to php folder. Left one copy inside windows also.

Any one able to connect to MySQL?

I believe a few of us managed. ;-)

Have you installed MySql in the first place?

Actually, all wise-cracks aside, installing PHP/MySql can be a bit of a pain. There are plenty of tutorials and they don't agree one with another, and it changes with almost every version...

Since you seem to have problems installing it, I would recommend you to remove any installation you have made and use an installer like WAMP. In a few clicks it will set up Apache, MySql and PHP. Within 15 minutes, you will be ready to go, piece of cake.
