It starts to get a little complex now!
# ls /var/lib/cobalt |grep php
If that returns something like:
php-4.1.2-3.md5lst
Then the unit thinks something is there, check if the RPM is there:

# rpm -q php
php-4.1.2-PM3
That shows on mine that php-4.1.2 rpm is actually installed. I'm guessing 
yours isn't.
If it is, uninstall the rpm:
rpm -e php-4.1.2-PM3

Then remove the cobalt files:
rm /var/lib/cobalt/php-4.1.2-3.md5lst
and
rm /var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers/php-4.1.2-3.uninst

Then try installing the .pkg again.

However, if all that fails, do the php install manually. On the RaQ3 its not a 
problem, just grab it from www.php.net untar, configure, make, make install.
Lots of references howto in the archives...
