Randell, thanks for your help!
And my father's family is all Irish. =)

Great advice about how to install a new PHP version w/o affecting the
old! Hadn't thought about that.

I had actually successfully installed the latest PHP using static
"quick" install instructions:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs
make
make install
apachetl restart

However, phpinfo then, of course, only shows the mysql and aspx mods.
When compared to the old PHP, that's worrisome:

Old PHP 4.1.2:
'./configure' 'i386-redhat-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr'
'--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc'
'--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib'
'--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var'
'--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man'
'--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--prefix=/usr'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect'
'--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--disable-rpath'
'--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-bz2' '--with-db3' '--with-curl'
'--with-dom=/usr' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin'
'--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-gd'
'--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-ttf' '--with-gdbm' '--with-gettext'
'--with-ncurses' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr'
'--with-mm' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-pspell'
'--with-regex=system' '--with-xml' '--with-expat-dir=/usr'
'--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-bcmath'
'--enable-debugger' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp'
'--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sockets'
'--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-discard-path'
'--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-yp'
'--enable-wddx' '--without-oci8' '--with-imap=shared'
'--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos' '--with-ldap=shared'
'--with-mysql=shared,/usr' '--with-pgsql=shared'
'--with-snmp=shared,/usr' '--with-snmp=shared'
'--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--with-unixODBC=shared'
'--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-shmop'
'--enable-versioning' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbx'
'--enable-dio' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans'
'--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs'

New PHP 4.3.4:
'./configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs'

I tried running the configure line from the old PHP (deleting
config.cache first), and after every attempt an error comes up: first
a problem with db4, then with libxml, then something else, each time I
remove the offenting line from the configure, or install a newer
version of something if it asked for it (like libxml) but after each
change, it just finds something new to have a problem with.

*sigh*

What a mess.
I don't know if you could possibly have any suggestions for this...but
if you do, I'd be more than happy to hear. =)
Thanks for your time already!!
