Is there a PHP 4.3 rpm for RedHat9?

[nospam please]

I'm running a website on Apache Http Server on a RedHat Linux 9 box. The PHP
version that RedHat provides is 4.2 but I need to use 4.3 because of a bug
where only the first SSI included php-file is parsed.

I prefer to manage and update this server using only RPMs, if possible. Does
anybody know if the php-4.3 rpm-file for Fedora can be installed on RH9
without ending up in dependency problems? Alternatively, is there a
contributed php-4.3 rpm-file that is made in "the spirit of" RedHat so I can
just do a "rpm -U" to update?

I did search redhat.com and php.net, but couldn't find any.

You can only find out if the Fedora rpm works by trying. If you use
--test with the rpm command, you can check the dependencies without
actually doing anything.

I have had good luck making my own rpms with the rpmbuild command.
See if you can make your own rpms with "rpmbuild -ta
php-4.3.4.tar.bz2". The rpms will be in /usr/src/redhat/ after it is
done. Read the rpmbuild man page for details.

.... or by asking others who have tried :-)

Hmmmm.... the last three is probably ok if I upgrade all php packages
together. The libs needs some looking into, but what is the http-mmn
package?

That is a good idea, and I will look into it for this and for future needs.

I don't remember. When I did this last, I think I had also made
custom rpms for the latest Apache 2, and I think I installed them all
together, listing all all the rpms on the same command line.
