Confused about installing PHP5 cli

Ah, so I always had CLI version there. I just didn't know it was in
/opt/local/bin. Thanks for the command to upgrade to 5.3.

There is PHP4 at /usr/local/bin (came w/ OSX, I think), and my PATH variable
is set so that bash shell looks in /usr/local/bin before /opt/local/bin.
What's the best way to handle this? Should I just modify the PATH
environment variable so that bash looks in /opt/local/bin first?

Thanks.
