php command line installtion

[frigidman]

I seem to have run into a slight problem.

Apparently after installing PHP 4.1.2 on a linux machine here... the "php" command line interface is still stuck at 4.0.4pl1 (which was originally installed with the OS about a year ago).

Apparently during all the upgrades of PHP, it never upgraded the php command line tool.

I read the INSTALL doc, not a single mention about this! So, I'm left with wondering ... how do I go about getting PHP to install with the proper command line tool with the right version?

I ask, cause i am now needing to run some php scripts via the php command line, and apparently the version thats there, has NO mysql support like the actual install of 4.1.2 which is running perfectly fine and dandy with the webserver.

I would have assumed that the php command line tool would have been installed during the install of php itself???

I checked php.net, couldnt seem to find the docs for installing the command line tool... anyone have any ideas?

Ok, I found on some obscure site that to build php as a CGI (which makes an executable commandline version in /usr/bin)... you take out "--with-apxs" and add "--without-apache".

Well, now the commandline tool works, but apache is busted and wont even load now!

Gah... I hate pathetic documentation.

So... now when I recompile to make it work in apache, the commandline tool breaks ?!?!??! THE HECK!?

i know its possible to have both at the same time, because the OS install of BOTH YDL2.1 and RH7.3 do it by default!.

Lame.
