after u install PHP4, u need to tell apache about it.. mostly, u will need to edit httpd.conf and add the lines: AddType application/php4script .php Action application/php4script /cgi-bin/php the reason u was advocating for u to compile PHP from source is so that u can create an executable php file from the make command, which u will copy into your /cgi-bin/ directory... this php file has most of the compile-time options that u enabled, allowing those options to be run at CGI speed.. it's for improved performance really.. after this, u will need to edit your /usr/local/lib/php.ini as instructed by Squirrelmail.... the modules, such as /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so should be installed automatically.. i am not sure whether the ports do this, but the src compilaton does... u might need to check.. as this module is necessary... the --with-apxs option tells PHP to compile into Apache as an extension module... so, once the application types have been specified in the httpd.conf [although new versions of Apache have them already] all u need to do is run your webmail, or any .php file, and Apache will parse it using PHP4.. and present back to your browser.. good luck...
