php3 and 4 on the same machine ?

[Anon]

Hi,

Is it possible to install both versions on a win98 box ?
php3 is located in c:\php3 and I want to install php4 in a /php4 directory so I think there is just php3.ini and php.ini files to change (moving php3.ini to php3.ini.old for ex.) but maybe there are some regedit stuff to modify too ?

If you do do this, then you will have .php3 as one version and .php as another, and .phtml as which ever you want, which may be what you want, but then if a script runs well in PHP3 for eg, but comes with .php3 extensions (which you may map to php4) then its a problem, your better off using just one (php4) You will also keep each INI file, one for each (same name as they are suposed to have) since the INI format is not the same exactly. Also it depends what server you are using, this is easy to do with apache for win32, but near impossible with PWS.
