It seems that PHP 5 is not that much compelling to most people to
justify the change.
I'm sure you're right, but I also think it's a question of work load for the ISP.
Many server upgrades don't occur unless it's urgent and even then they sometimes get
missed.
Plus... the last time I went to lease a server, the ISP told me that RedHat didn't come with
PHP 5. Installing PHP 5 was at my own risk. Maybe PHP 5 is now bundled with the latest version of
PHP, but I know it wasn't for a while and I also know that this hampered PHP 5 getting out
there.
Is it possible to install both PHP 4 and PHP 5 on a single web server, have scripts all use the php
extension, and somehow specify in the script itself which version of PHP should be used?
