Re: remove php5

My guess (to be cross-checked prior to possible acceptance ...):

apt-get [--purge] remove libapache2-mod-php5 php5-common php5-mysql [phpmyadmin]

Re: remove php5

i only want to remove php5.1.2 Not phpmyadmin or mysql.

Is you re command still valid then?

Re: remove php5

square brackets = optional.

though, if you want to remove php5, it doesn't make much sense keeping things that depend on it.
this is why i had you post the result of the dpkg-query: to see what was installed in relation to php5
and this is why unicornrider suggests to remove a few other packages.

you can double check the lists of dependencies in each package's properties in adept/synaptic.
or, from command line, with:

sudo dpkg-query -s <package_name> | grep -i depends

Re: remove php5

I'm going to install php5.2.3 with the tar file of the website. So i can update php when ever I want. That is why i want to remove php5.1.2 and after that install 5.2.3

Re: remove php5

so my question is.
How can i remove php5.1.2 but not remove it's connection to mysql and apache?

[jankushka]

Re: remove php5

sudo apt-get remove php5-common --purge

ps:
it's been a bit since i developed something in php...
what is new in php5.2.3 that makes you want to remove the stock php5.1.2?
cheers
