the default load from my host did not include yum or apt .. i found articles on how to use yum and apt(which i know already) looking for best place to get rpm for yum or apt to help with the php update or any suggestions on doing the udpate

First of all, do you actually need all of the RPMS you are trying to install? Are you really going to use Microsoft SQL server as a backend database to your PHP scripts? Be sure you actually need all of the RPMS you are trying to install. You may not have to install any dependencies if you don't need any of the ones that failed.

Having said that, you will need to get and install all the RPMS for your OS that the RPMS you are trying to install depend on.

For instance, the first one "php-mcrypt-5.2.3-1.rs.rhel4.i386" needs libmcrypt you'll need to find and install the RHEL4 version of mcrypt. If you are hooked up to Red Hat Network it should be as simple as "up2date libmcrypt". Same thing for the rest of them.

Dang, too late. :)

my fix was to add the channel from my host that contained the php5 updates ..once that was done a quick up2date and problem solved
