Thanks. I finally figured this out, too. If I change my environment
variable for my shell so it points to my php5 version, am I doing
anything that will interfere with system level stuff like sendmail
that may still be associated with the version in /usr/bin/ ?

What brought all of this up is an interest in checking out Symfony,
which is based on php5.
