Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-19 22:12:14] wez@php.net You can easily acheive it this way: install PHP 4 to C:\php4 put your PHP 4 specific php.ini file into C:\php4 rearrange the contents of that folder so that all the .dll files from the dlls and extensions folders live in C:\php4. Make sure your extensions_dir=c:\php4 in your c:\php4\php.ini [this creates a self-contained PHP 4 distro] install PHP 5 to C:\php5 put your PHP 5 specific php.ini into C:\php5\php.ini move all the extension .dlls into C:\php5 [this creates a self-contained PHP 5 distro] Make sure that NEITHER C:\php4 nor C:\php5 are listed in your PATH. Remove all PHP related DLLs from your windows system directly. Remove the global php.ini from C:\windows\php.ini [this removes global stuff that might confuse things] Making this a docu problem, since we should have it mentioned somewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-19 20:57:07] gidmanma at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 allows seperate MIME mappings for each web site on the server. Using site specific MIME mappings I am running both PHP 4.3.6 and PHP 5.0.0 RC2 (both in ISAPI) at the same time on the same server. The only problem is that there is no way to specify a seperate php.ini for each version of PHP installed. Can something be changed in PHP that either causes it to look for the ini in the same folder/directory as the dll? Or, is there another way around this problem?
