I have been attempting to upgrade a SuSE 9 linux box from php 4.3.4 to php 5.1.6. I have something working, since I'm able to run my old programs under the new setup, but I'm fairly certain I've done something wrong somewhere; using the phpinfo() command shows that I'm still running 4.3.4 for some reason.
This is a record of the differences between the two versions of php which I am dealing with. One has been drawn from a fresh run, with the 'new' php system installed, of the phpinfo() command. The other is drawn from an older copy of the same command, from a page which I saved to disk as an html page because I wanted to see if I could shift the color of the page. I was able to; I'm not sure why I didn't simply delete it, but I'm now very glad and grateful that I didn't.
