Gene.

I ran into a similar problem a long time ago and found that my issue was
that I had foolishly tried to recompile php5 into the same paths without
cleaning out the old php binaries. I don't know if this is what you are
doing but if it is then as a thought you might want to make sure that
all traces of the earlier version of php has been wiped off of your system.

In my case I think what was happening was I wasn't rebuilding all of the
binaries and libraries from scratch, so I had a broken php4/ php5 hybrid
without realizing it. :-/

If you are upgrading but this doesn't help I would also make sure that
you comment out all of the mod_php4 and/ or libphp4.so lines in httpd.conf.

Hope this is of some help!
