Hi Peter. If you want to install php4 and php5 simultaneously, then I suggest that you use two versions of apache2. One version running on port 80 as standard with php4, and another version running php5, on a different port than 80.

That's not a problem at all, infact, that's the way I was going to do it. But my main problem is just installing both of them, using apt-get install php5 presents me with a "I'll just upgrade 4 to 5" message

I initially tried installing php5 by compiling from clean

source, but only ran into problems.

I was just about to say 'just install from source' when I read this earlier part of your email. So what problems are you having with installing from source? Perhaps try installing both php4 and php5 from source, I have done it plenty of times with no problems, just remember of course to specify a different PREFIX for each version when you run configure.
