php-4.2.2
apache-2.0.40

You can change /etc/php.ini to allow short-tag opening, but how many
novices with RedHat 8.0 would understand to do that. It's best to use
the <?php since the <? could be confused with XML....
It takes time to go through scripts to do the changing though.

Another issue with php is the register global vars. Where $submit as a
form variable needs to be accessed as $_POST["submit"] or
$_GET["submit"]. Again this can be changed in the php.ini file.

$HTTP_POST_VARS["submit"] is acceptable in older versions of PHP as well
as the latest PHP 4.2.3, but I'm pretty sure that $_POST["submit"]
wouldn't work in earlier version of PHP.. (Don 't have early versions to
test with).

I've not looked at MythWeb yet, but it might need pointing out in the
docs.. or changing the code.
