I am on a Mac powerpc running Tiger 10.4.10.

When I run php -v at a command line I get a response that indicates
that I am running php 4.4.4.

However, when I run <?php phpinfo() ?> on localhost on my machine from
within a php file, I am told I am running version 5.0.4.

Anyone know why the discrepancy? I was under the impression that I
had installed php 5.

You have both installed, the php binary you have (I assume that could be in
/usr/bin/), is the php4, while the module you have for apache (assuming it's
in /etc/apache2/) is from php5.

Thanks. I finally figured this out, too. If I change my environment
variable for my shell so it points to my php5 version, am I doing
anything that will interfere with system level stuff like sendmail
that may still be associated with the version in /usr/bin/ ?

What brought all of this up is an interest in checking out Symfony,
which is based on php5.

You can always make a symlink, after you removed the old php

ln -s /where/your/current/php /usr/bin/php

As long as you don't use anything that uses nusope, you don't need the php4,
if you happen to have something using nusope, then you need to rename a few of
the classes/functions, as the one in php5 has same names.
