Php3 to php4

[Anon]

Hi I'm running a server on Apache 1.3.9 & PHP3. I plan to upgrade to PHP4. Coould somebody please tell me the implications.

I mean if I shift to PHP4, how bout all the other applications currently written in Php3, will they work after I install PHP4 ?

Can I install PHP4 and still have PHP3 running at the same time ?

How bout all the extensions for PHP4. (The ones that are not included in the distribution) Can I use the same extensions that PHP3 uses ?

Thanx a lot ...

Yes, you can have PHP3 and PHP4 at the same time. Just associate .php3 with PHP3 and .php with PHP4 in httpd.conf file.

i know it can be done in Linux. I'm talking bout a windows distribution. Apache on Win NT with PHP3 and PHP4 is that possible ??

thanx again ...

Yep it's even easier on Windows. If you are using IIS, you just map one extension to php4 and another to php3 in MMC.

It's the same. Assume you have PHP3 installed in c:\php3 and PHP4 installed in c:\php, you can just add the following lines in your apache httpd.conf file:

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

ScriptAlias /php3/ "c:/php3/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
Action application/x-httpd-php3 "/php3/php.exe"

Now you can have PHP3 and PHP4 at the same time. Just try it, good luck!
