I hope that someone can give me a very non-technical reply because I'm really a newbie. I've been seeing alot of horror messages about the bugs, problems and general headaches of recompiling php.
I am using rh9 with php 4.2.2 and apache 2 server. The problem comes into play as I need to get libmcrypt to work with my shopping cart that requires the mcrypt module to integrate UPS online tracking and rates tools. When I tried to import the tracking link using the shopping cart tool I get the following message-
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mcrypt_module_open() in /var/www/html/squirrelcart/functions/dec.func on line 5. The tech support said "According to your phpinfo file, this library is not installed. You'll need to install it."
I found the libmcrypt RPM, mcrypt RPM and the mhash RPM files and loaded them but now I have to get them into php4.2.2.
I'm in need to know how to add these into php 4.2.2 so the will show in my phpinfo.php file. I hesitate to try something without some advice. I certainly do not want to have severe problems with my php install.
