Well, for starters next you post, make sure that your email has less than 80 characters per line... You asked for it :) > As the subject states, I need to upgrade my PHP install.

The reason I need to upgrade is so that I can use the sha1() function. > For now I can do with md5 but I'd prefer to use sha when if possible. Quick glance on Google turned out some packages for RH8. But... If I were you I'd stick with the RH provided RPMs, if possible. With them you always know that your system is secure (if you keep up with the updates RH provides). As there has been some vulnerabilities found from PHP from time to time... So, I'd recommend that don't pump up the PHP version, but solve your problem in some other way. For example read the user contributed notes for the sha1 function at php.net and try the sha1-function that someone has written for PHP (prior to 4.3.0): http://fi2.php.net/manual/fi/function.sha1.php Note that I have not tried that function. You might find a better solution elsewhere. Regards, Peter -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
