PHP security fixes.

When I check for the new PHP security fixes (5-5-06) I get fixes shown for
PHP4.0. (SUSE Watcher) but none for PHP5. Checking with YaST Software
management it shows PHP4 & PHP5 installed. info.php (phpinfo) shows
PHP5.0.4 installed. That is what I installed when I rebuilt my system. I
seem to remember the PHP5 install added the PHP4 stuff.(I didn't).

Three questions:
1. Should I have both installed?
2. Are there PHP5 security updates as Sucunia's security advisor stated?
3. Can I safely deinstall PHP4 stuff?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Russ,

Yes, it is listed php4, not 5.
After update.

The /var/lib/YaST2/you/youlog
Installing php5: "php4 security update" :-)

Me too and I just tried to see what is going to happen, but this is
done in installation that will be soon removed, so no damage even if
something goes wrong.
