Since changing over to a new machine, I’ve had to recreate my development system, and try to focus a bit upon one of the most neglected: The very software which I use to create my site.

It’s unfeasable, even with my new traffic and space allotment to attempt to do development on a staging system before getting the basic bugs worked out.

Rather than contending with my old system of a custom compilation of PHP 5 with fallbacks to PHP4, I’ve opted to reinstall Marc Liyanage’s PHP build of PHP4.

Knowing that this might aid others, here it is.
