Re: RPM reporting wrong version

["Thomas Ripoche" <thomas ripoche laposte net>]

First you should ensure that is isn't a path issue :
$ which php
$ rpm -ql php

If paths for the php binary match (/usr/bin/php ?), a privileged user
upgraded your system without using rpm. You should terminate him or educate
him. First option easier :)

If  they don't match, a privileged user installed a newer php in another
folder which happens to get first in your path. The previous php should
still be here. Fix your path.
