I'm pretty new to linux, php and mysql. I am running CentOS 5 and I have to install PHP 4.4.9 (this is the required version) on it. I also want to install apache, mysql and php myadmin but do not know which version match PHP 4.4.9 and how to install. Pls help me in installing all the above given 4 (i.e. PHP 4.4.9 and corresponding mysql, apache & php myadmin) on CentOS 5. If there is any additional configuration required, let me know them too. Thank you in advance.

You really don't want to install that version... It reached its end of life and might even contain security holes. –  ThiefMaster♦ Apr 26 '12 at 6:06

Why in God's name is PHP 4.4.9 required? This was released in 2008.. –  Explosion Pills Apr 26 '12 at 6:08
 
you can install the higher versions? is there any problem with higher versions? –  Shaikh Farooque Apr 26 '12 at 6:11
 
because the hosting company is using 4.4.9 and have to prepare the development environment in virtual machine –  i_ch3ry Apr 26 '12 at 6:11

In this case you really need to change the hosting company (or tell them that you will unless they switch to a recent PHP version)! Using such an old version is absolutely irresponsible! –  ThiefMaster♦ Apr 26 '12 at 6:18

You shall NEVER install php4 anymore!

Installing PHP,MySQL and Apache is no big deal, here is a detailed tutorial (for CentOS 5): http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-centos-5.3-lamp
