That URL isn't particularly useful -- it gets you a tarball and a link to a
page which makes no mention of php-clam.  Is there a better project page
somewhere for this?

 A small module that implements a limited subset of the libclamav API in
 order to scan buffers and files from within PHP.

Since this package is a C module, it should probably be named php4-clam (or
php4-clamav, more accurately) so that a php5-clamav can be made later. 
libphp-foo is typically reserved for library packages written in and for
PHP.

In spite of inconsistent current practice, the proposed PHP policy is in 
favor of naming such packages php-clam.

Apologies,
http://software.fotopic.net will (I have been assured) contain more
information about this package.

However, thsi package is verified in working on both php4 and php5.
What would be the best option in this case? php-clam/php-clamav?

Many thanks,

Sometime in the future, presumably.  They only mention php-imlib2 (which is
a weird typo for php-clam... grin)

Is the same binary suitable for use on PHP4 and PHP5?  I'm no PHP extension
guru, but I thought the ABIs were fairly different.

For the source package, php-clamav would be suitable.  If the same binary
works on both PHP4 and PHP5, I'd say php-clamav would be suitable for the
binary package as well, otherwise php4-clamav and php5-clamav should be
appropriate.
