Where I work, we use ancient technology that belongs in a museum. Further I have to get everything done through system admins.

They are telling me in order to get PHP, they will need to upgrade the operating system as well as the Apache version.

lcas100[67]% uname -a
Linux lcas100 2.6.9-11.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri May 20 18:26:27 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
lcas100[68]% cat /etc/*-release
LSB_VERSION="1.3"
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant)
lcas100[75]% /ots/apache/bin/httpd -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix)
Server built:   Nov  3 2004 18:47:31

This doesn't make sense to me because apparently Apache 1.3.x supports PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache.php

Furthermore, we have another machine that runs PHP and is running the exact same OS and OS version. The reason I want it on the former machine is because it is mounted on a different file system.

Lastly they tell me that all software the Apache webserver runs will need to be reinstalled/recompiled (assuming an Apache upgrade WAS needed). I am not even sure about this.

Are they full of it? Thanks
