That works, but mysql functions don't seem to work (they do using the apache
module).  Thus:

robert@debian:~/testing$ php4 -q test.php
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Call to undefined function:  mysql_connect() in
<b>/home/robert/testing/test.php</b> on line <b>34</b><br />
robert@debian:~/testing$ 

Fortunately I've fixed this problem by hand-compiling the latest php4
in /usr/local/php, and I've linked the binary to /usr/local/bin/php (with
the "./configure --with-cgi=no" option).  Works a treat.  I prefer hand
compiling things to using backports - seems to be perfectly reliable.
