php 7.4, noting that anything less than php 7.3 could be problematic (since zc158 supports 7.3 through 8.2).

YES!

The only thing I can think of is one of my early steps may have left out or in the prefix.

And, I was SURE I was waatching that each time.

Went all the way back to square one from five different tests. Voila!

I must commend those responsible for the 1.5.8a zc_install. It took that mangy pup of a database and made a rottweiler out of it.

And special THANX to lat9!
