Calling phpinfo(), the PHP versions are the same. However, I forgot to 
mention that I built PHP and MySQL from source, and I may have doen 
something different in the switches. I remember I had a lot of trouble 
getting compatible versions of Apache and PHP between the machines because 
of all the differences with Apache 2.0.

I have that one on both machines in /usr/lib/httpd/modules/.
