Below is the version of PHP installed on my  RH8.0 machine (RPM installation)
:
                php-4.2.2-8.0.5

There was no error message at all. It just that the registration process
could'nt finish and it  returned the user registration page back .  Normally
if the installation success it supposed to display a page with  below message
(but this didn't happen and there is no new entry in the database as well):
          
          You are now being sent a confirmation email to verify your email
           address. Visiting the link sent to you in this email will activate
           your account.

So , I checked the PHP variable in  savannah/www/account/register.php . There
is a global variable called  $Register that determined whether  it is "first
time to page" or not. I tried to print the value , but it gave empty value
. So I  added the following lines on top of  savannah/www/account/register.php
 : 

global $Register;
$Register = $_REQUEST[Register];
 
After this  the "confirmation message"  could be displayed and I could see
new entry in the database. The only problem now is that I didn't receive
any email for verification. I tried to login but failed.

I think all these can describle my problem with my PHP4 . Any idea ?

Thanks .....
