If you wish to get the latest PHP 4.0 source tree, you can obtain it through CVS. As before, you should be warned that the CVS version is a development version, and as such, is often unstable, and may not even compile properly. The advantage of using CVS, though, is that you can get the latest fixes and updates, without having to wait for the official releases.

Getting the PHP 4.0 CVS version to work is a bit more complicated than it was with PHP 3.0 for two main reasons - first, the engine, Zend, has been separated from the main language tree, and resides in a different CVS repository. And second, PHP 4.0 uses a much more advanced configuration system, that requires you to have not only autoconf installed, but also automake and libtool.

All of the necessary utilities (autoconf, automake. libtool, bison and flex) can be obtained from the GNU FTP site.

If after these warnings you're still interested in obtaining the PHP 4.0 CVS, here's how.
