PHP4 not installing

[sweetlew]

I seem to be having a problem installing PHP4 on Ubuntu(Warty). I have Apache2, MySQL installed OK but PHP4 will not. When I try to run the PHPINFO() function in a web page to see if PHP is installed I get nothing. I did install PHP for what I thought was OK, but, I get this error as a result of the apt-get install PHP4. This error is misleading because I can't seem to tell if I have it installed properly or not. Please help!!!!!!

well.. you can try first with [tt]apt-get update[/tt]. you can use [tt]dselect[/tt] in order to install it too.

and man dpkg pay attention to
[tt]--install
--remove
--purge[/tt]
