uninstalling php5.2.2

[carobee]

hello

i have installed php5.2.2 in my linux box through.Now i want to uninstall it so that i can install php 4.4.3. i downloaded the source of php 4.4.3. and installed apache 1.3.37 and php 4.4.3. though apache has got installed but when i tried to check for php it is showing
"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test.php on line 2".

Has it got something to do with the earlier version of php? Earlier version was running well.

can you plese give the code to uninstall the earlier version

please can anyone help? i need it badly

as I answered in other post, it is as easy as removing all php5 files & its instances.

Btw, php is intalled but it is error of the code, can you give me output of your phpinfo()  ?

Thankyou!

You can use latest version of mysql, current is 5.x .. though still 4.1.x is in use.

You can install using yum..
Try

yum install mysql-server mysql
Shall install mysql server and needed libraries on its own !
