My apologies to everyone I forgot to mention that I had already upgraded to PHP 4.3.8 using Jespers script at
http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dkThis script loaded the unixODBC rpm for me.
I then dowmloaded the RPM's Chris kindly pointed out to me and ran this script from the same directory:
rpm -Uvh --nodeps php*.rpm
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories
echo 'include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear"' > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories
echo 'doc_root =' >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories
echo 'user_dir =' >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories
echo 'extension_dir = /usr/lib/php4' >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories
echo 'enable_dl = On' >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/50PathsDirectories
pear upgrade Log
pear upgrade Date
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/php.ini
service httpd restart
echo " DONE........"
Hope this is of help to somebody
Sorry for the confusion
