Topic: running PHP 4 and PHP 5 at the same time

[strigoi]

Good day to all, just have a question, ive read that php 4 and php 5 can be added to the httpd to allow use of both, i have both installed on my webserver, and both are working, need to know how to add them to the httpd so i can use them, almost all of my website runs fine with php 4 x's but i have some newer scripts that require php 5 ( id rather just use php 5, But the phpbb install isnt liking it, and doesnt show all of the admin panel and registrations fail) if anyone can help, or show an example on how to add both life would get much easier around here.

thnx.

You need an extra extension, eg php4.

Try,

LoadFile "c:/php/php4ts.dll"
LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/php4apache2.dll"
PHPINIDir x:/xxxx/xxx
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4


I tried once php5 as apaceh handler and php4 as cgi (extension .phpc), and that was working fine:

#ScriptAlias /phpc/ "D:/servers/apache/phpc/"
#AddType application/x-httpd-phpc .phpc
#Action application/x-httpd-phpc "/phpc/php-cgi.exe"
#SetEnv PHPRC D:/servers/apache/phpc

if you do it like this, don't both versions of php have to use the same php.ini?

yepp, if you comment some settings out, so PHP will use default settings and will work for PHP 4 and 5.
