why can't I upgrade php?

[Robert L Cochran]

To answer this and your earlier query:

The reason rpm failed is because you need to install all the other 
packages that php is split into, too:

rpm -Fvh php* php-ldap* php-mysql*...

(correct the paths to the RPM files as needed.) In other words, you 
freshen all of the php files, all at the same time. php-imap has a 
dependency on php in the same version.

In your document root in /var/www/html, is there a file named info.php 
that has the <? phpinfo() ?> script in it? You should be able to see the 
phpinfo with a standard install of both httpd and php (provided, of 
course, that you have not incorrectly updated the config files 
httpd.conf and php.ini.)

It's very strange that you can't get this working from a fresh install, 
so you must have made extensive changes to httpd.conf and php.ini.
