17 PHP 4 is no longer in the tree. It hasn't been supported by upstream for
18 2 years.

20 The only way to even attempt to install it is to retrieve the ebuild
21 from sources.gentoo.org (gentoo-x86 - ignore the name as the same tree
22 is used for all archs). However this will almost certainly fail due to
23 issues with dependencies and patches.
24
25 The most sensible route would be to upgrade your webapps to support PHP5
26 (it shouldn't be the hard and you'll gain security and probably
27 performance from doing so).
