Interesting ? any HELP appreciated

[wheels979]

I currently have PHP 4.0.1 installed on a windows machine with an Apache server. I've recently installed another Apache server on the same machine. My question is this:

Can I have multiple versions of PHP installed on 1 machine? Can I have PHP 4.0.1 installed on one server and PHP 4.??? on another? If so, can someone explain how? thanks!!!

yes and no, you can have as many CGI versions running as you wish, but only 1 module (as far as I know anyway)... why ?

the php.ini for php running as an apache module has to live in your windir so any apache versions running end up using the same php.ini which can only specify 1 extensions directory, and extensions are normally not compatable accross versions.

but php as a CGI should use the php.ini in its root directory so you should be able to get at least 1 CGI and 1 module version running.

Thats unless you can specify in the server configuration the path to php.ini for the php module but I dont think you can ?
