Next version after 5.0.4?

According to some doc on the joomla site(s), there is a known bug in
PHP xml in v 5.0.4

I had run into it in WordPress clients, but hadn't found out it was
PHP and not the client at fault. So, never having been able to fix it,
I just didn't use that functionality.

Now, in trying to upgrade to the newest version of joomla, the xml bug
rears its ugly head during installation... with the result that the
software cannot even be used.

The solution, of course, is to upgrade PHP. Unfortunately, trying to
upgrade to the latest version (5.2.4 afaict) doesn't work - trying to
install with rpm reports 15 dependency problems, and those in turn
generate still more... this, on a FC 4 server.

My question is this: what is the "next" version of PHP after 5.0.4 and
where might it be found?

That's what I wanted... I looked for it on php.net, but only the
"stable" releases jumped out at me... I searched on "release" but...
just the stable. Where's they hide it (in plain sight)?

Thanks!

It's on <http://www.php.net/downloads.phpin the left side bar:

| Development and archive versions
| ...
| Information about older releases and their downloads are available on

Aha! There iit is... I was looking for "version" instead of "release",
and missed it.

Not that finding it did a whole lot of good - I tried 5.0.5, but
couldn't get it to make - I copied the config from the output of
"aboutphp.p hp" on 5.0.4, but there were three or four things there
that were missing or in different directories - a bit puzzling since
this was an absolutely plain vanilla FC 4 install, so I had to dredge
through the file directories and find them, and then after conifg
worked, make croaked with an error in php_odbc.c

So now I'm going to install FC7 from the "Bible" book, once Amazon's
shipper gets it here.

Thanks for the help, anyway - I do appreciate it.

Let me ask you: do you build PHP from source, and if so, what
version(s)?

On my local Debian server I always build PHP from the sources. Currently
it's 5.2.3, but I think I will update it to the recent version soon.

The only problem was when I compiled it the first time - there were a
lot of missing dependencies. But all those *-dev packages were quickly
installed, and since then it's always just the usual

../configure
make
make install

Takes some time on a 550MHz machine, though. ;)

I've written a little script to call configure, so I don't have to
remember and re-type all the config options I want. I just unpack the
sources, copy my little 'startconf' script and run it.

Then, after the second cup of tea, I force the Apache server to reload
the PHP module and that's it. Pretty easy after it has been done once.

If you want to visit each item in an Array, you have two alternatives: Use a For Each..Next loop, using a Variant to retrieve each value in turn. Use a For...Next loop, looping from the Lower Bound to the Upper Bound of the Array. For Each...Next seems simpler because you need not worry about retrieving the Lower and Upper Bounds- the loop takes care of that for you. For Each varValue In alngValues j = varValue Next varValue...
