For example, on the very first page of the installer there can be options presented: 1. Upgrade existing installation 2. Install side-by-side and make this a default version 3. Install side-by-side but keep existing version as a default. In case of installing on IIS that would mean: In #1 the installer will upgrade the PHP installation as it does today. In #2 the installer will install binaries into a new folder and then configure FastCGI handler mapping on a server level and make it the top in the handler mapping list so that it is used by all sites. In #3 the installer will install binaries into a new folder, configure FastCGI handler mapping, but will not re-order the existing FastCGI handler mapping so that previosly installed PHP vesion is still used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-26 23:28:17] ksingla at microsoft dot com Description: ------------ In order to support side-by-side installation of PHP 5.2 and 5.3 by Microsoft Web Platform Installer, PHP installer needs to support side by side setup. To get to a version specific installation, I think following changes will be required a. Currently, PHP is installed to %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\PHP or %PROGRAMFILES%\PHP. This should change to %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\PHP\<version> or %PROGRAMFILES%\PHP\<version> b. Currently PHP sets the following registry keys: i. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PHP on 64-bit systems. ii. HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP on 32-bit systemsc. Change the registry keys to: i. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PHP\<version> on 64-bit systems. ii. HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP on 32-bit systems\<version>d. Set an environment variable called PHPLOC with the path to the latest installed PHP c. When IIS-FastCGI install is selected, installer should let users add the PHP handler at site or application level as well so that a particular PHP version can be used for that site or application. Currently the handler is always added at the server level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50583&edit=1
