Yast2: Cannot find PHP 5.2.x?? Please help!

Hello, I was trying to install the php soap extension and it updated my php install to 5.3.1. This version breaks a bunch of stuff so I need to get back to 5.2.11. Problem is, I don’t see anything from the 5.2.x branch in yast - only 5.3.1 and 5.1.

I’ve searched and searched online but I can’t find any repositories or anything for yast that appears to deal with 5.2.x.

Really? Is it really that hard to install php 5.2.x from yast?

(i assume this was on 11.1)

i don’t know how to get php 5.2.11, but there is a php 5.2.6 in OSS and
5.2.9 in update repositories.

To downgrade your php version, select the version that you want to
install at the “Versions” tab in Yast - Software Management.

or, (does not try this myself)

zypper in php=5.2.9

and please make sure you already add/enable OSS or Update repo, and
disable other php specific repo.

I have the same trouble

I found a distro that has has 5.2.4

Index of /distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse

However, when I add this and try to install this via Yast - Yast core dumps - nice!

Tried zypper but i can not delete the old url I had because for some reason it tries to resolve it first and wont get past it when i type: zypper sd 2

Any other ideas?

Thanks.
