Need To Install php-mbstring

Dear All
I have a RH server with expired suscribtions..
I need to get and install the rpm file for php-mbstring...
If the suscribtion has expired does it mean that I can not update any of my rpm files no more. ?

As far as I know, you cannot get any updates if your subscription has run out. One solution to your problem would be to get the rpms from CentOS because its just a free rebuild of RHEL.

hmm..well I know about CentOS..well...would centos rpms work on my RH system right away..no strings attached ?

CentOS is a RHEL rebuild like I said earlier, so there is no reason why their rpms can't work on rhel (choose rpms for the CentOS version that matches your RHEL installation).

Something like this seems like it may work... If you get dependency errors sometimes you just have to cave and install them.

... oh and in case you weren't sure (sorry if you were):

Code:

wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/PLD/dists/ra/PLD/i386/PLD/RPMS/php-mbstring-4.2.3-8.i386.rpm

rpm -ivh php-mbstring-4.2.3-8.i386.rpm
