Thanks again for your guys help,
I thought Id keep one last update to let you guys know the status.
I did, in the end, compile the PHP RPM, but in the end I quickly found out that there
were too many dependencies from other RPMs, and i ended up going around in circles just about.
PHP 5.3 needed something in php-pear, and that needed something from php 5.2, then that needed
something from mysql, which I couldnt find a high enough version for PPC.
In the end, I downloaded the source from apache and php, and compiled them with ./configure and make.
The only dependency I needed for PHP was mysql-devel, although not tested with mysql, I know that the
apache server is running with php 5.3.1
Thanks again, and I hope this helps someone else out, especially if they require the same demands from apache/php.
PS: just msg me whoever is reading this and needs help with apache 2 and php 5.3.1, unless there already is a distro out with 5.3 on it :]
