Here's a suggestion so that you don't have to depend on other people to reproduce it for you (and in case one of the PHP maintainers asks you to try a snapshot): Download the PHP tarball you want to test with (4.3.8 or snapshot or whatever) and extract it in your home directory, then configure it and run "make". Then create your test script as a CLI script and make the shebang line: #!/home/<your-home-dir>/php-<version>/sapi/cli/php This allows you to test with whatever version you wish without having to actually install it. FWIW...
