Greetings, While I know this subject has been covered previously on the list(s). The references I found while searching were fairly dated (04). So it appears that that having parallel installs of both v4 and v5 is quite possible. What I would like to know is if this is still possible and a relatively painless process. I have some 50 boxen all running BSD 6.2-CURRENT Apache 1.3-CURRENT and PHP4.4.6 (soon to be 4.4.7). So before I upgrade the farm to 4.4.7, I was hoping to /also/ install PHP5 as well. While I am an avid PHP4 developer/user/lover. Some of our clients are groaning about the lack of PHP5 support. Frankly, I wonder why they don't just develop in Java, as they would enjoy a very similar environment. At the same time, if it's a relatively safe/stable environment having both. I see no reason not to provide both. :) Thank you for all your time and consideration. --Chris ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// Service provided by hitOmeter.NET internet messaging! .
