A package that runs in PHP3 should run in PHP4 with no modification, unless your PHP4
installation has an incompatible configuration. You would change this configuration
in the "php.ini" file, which when installed from source, is usually located in
/usr/local/lib/php.ini or similar. (An incompatibility might be that register_globals
is turned off in your installation whereas your scripts might have been written with
the assumption that it is turned on.)
The symptoms you are describing suggest that the web server is not passing the script
to the PHP binary to parse before sending out to the browser. Have you made the
appropriate modifications to your httpd.conf file? (Namely you need to set it to
recognize PHP scripts by extension and to turn the PHP module on.)
Since I haven't installed PHP or Apache from debs I tell you how they should be, but
if you are having troubles with a source install then I can probably answer most
questions you have....
Good luck,
Erik
