Hi All, my name GioMBG, first BIG respect to HowToForge I do php, sql web prg to help DJ Producer to manage internet music labels: so I work with images, mp3 and pdf, so I'm working with these classes: PHPThumb, getid3 and fpdf. in all these classes there are many functionS that are now deprecated in php 5.3 like eregi() etc. etc. THE PROBLEM IS BIG! (in all the web) http://www.google.it/search?q=eregi()+deprecated+php Can anyone help me to install or compile an old version of php 5.2.11 on my Costantine Fedora 12? Thanks GioMBG
You are welcome Greets There are two workarounds, both will need --oldpackage option: a. Download and install RPM's i've just compiled + use some fc11 packages (x86_64 only)/Recommended: http://mirror.alva.ge/pub/other/php5.2fc12/ just download and Code: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage * Maybe you will need also to solve some deps. Tested works. b. Compile PHP from scratch (actually what I did to get to the a) It's quite easy: You have to download last src.rpm that belongs to Fedora 11, because it contains all required patches and list of required RPM's to compile new one probably best way is to search at http://rpm.pbone.net with advanced -> fedora 11 flag + use same old fc11 RPM's. Also, if you are compilation-addicted, you can compile all the depend-packages and say "bye" to fc11 packages, but i guess it's not necessary - no reason except you want to use some fresh versions of some packages.
