[BlueOnyx:06199] PHP goof....

[Stuart McKnight]

So I upgraded my PHP to 5.2 via the CentOS dev repository and neglected to understand that the admin console breaks on version later than 5.1.6

Am I looking at complete rebuild? I thought I uninstalled PHP but my sites are still able to run their PHP code which is a little baffling. When I try install I get this output:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Using the --skip-broken doesn't seem to help. A wise man said once you are in a hole stop digging. Any wise men able to help me fill in the hole?
