RE: [PHP4BETA] co-exist instance

Hi, > can php4 co-exist with php3 ? ( in Apache under Linux ) > thx for answering, Another unsung feature, yes indeed it can. You'll require at a minimum php-3.0.13 and php-4beta3 to accomplish this. Compile both versions as per the instructions, and add: --enable-versioning to the configure line you are using, on both versions. Note that each version requires its own module/addtype lines in httpd.conf. Each version also requires its own filename extension. For example, in my httpd.conf... LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp4.so LoadModule php3_module lib/apache/libphp3.so and later on..... AddModule mod_php4.c AddModule mod_php3.c Then for types, you could have... AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .php4s AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .php3s You can configure these however you like, just make *sure* you don't pass the same file type to 2 different handlers. Another thing I do is change the directives between versions and restart apache so I can check code against both versions. Its quite neat, and the whole thing works quite well on my linux box. I even run a cgi version of php3 in tandem, for messing-around purposes. :) There are some resources in the mailing list archive if you require more info. Good luck.
