I'm on 1.3.23 at the moment. There seems to be something up with the
bindings - merely loading them into PHP causes lots of "eek, function
redefined" kind of errors.

There is one "Overloaded constructor ignored" (for Document), and we
have an unprotected operator() lying around that PHP doesn't know what
to do with.

I'm using PHP 4.2.1 built myself; I don't build any of the bindings
against Debian. That does mean I'm some way behind on PHP releases,
though. (And it was a pest to build last time :-(
