Check the above document.  It details how to install PHP 4 on the Qube.  It
was written by Geoff Baysinger to the Qube developer's list and was
EXTREMELY helpful.  You can follow the recipe step by step if you wish but I
recommend trying to understand everything that is going on with the
installation.

One more thing, upon a reboot or a restart of the Qube, PHP will no longer
work.  I believe it has something to do with the Qube rewritting some
configuration files upon restarting.  If anyone has any information about
this I would appreciate it.  I want to make the installation a bit more
permanent.

Thanks in advance

p.s. If you need help with the above recipe, let me know.  I've done the
installation a couple of times and I'm pretty comfortable with it.
