OK, thanks Jim.

It would be good if there was a php-mysql4 package, but oh well.

I think what we're going to have to do, and this probably suits our  
requirements a little better anyway, is to build our own RPM of PHP5  
and then create our own repository for our servers to grab it from.

This is not such a bad option I suppose because we can configure it  
exactly the way we want.

Thanks again.
