Installing Two copys of PHP

[Anon]

Hi,

Here's the situation I'm looking at. I want to run two different configurations of PHP (both need to be DSO), one that has certain functions removed (via the disable_functions line in the php.ini file) and one that has everything available.

The clincher is that I want to run this under the same install of Apache.

Does anyone know how to (or if it is even possible to):

1) Run two versions of PHP accessible from one install of Apache, and some how setup Apache to invoke different versions of PHP (prerably by using a specified directory for calling scripts with the full blown php).

2)Somehow configure PHP to only block out certain functions based on where the script is called from?

Or, if anyone else has gotten this type of configuration working

So you want one apache server to use two different versions of the same library at the same time?
If this is for security reasons I'd set up a copy of apache to run the full version, and deny access to "unqualified" users.

I guess you could use the addtype lines for apache:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

to configure a new extention to be the "full" php and the normal extention to be the "crippled" php.

I'm not sure if apache can be told how to handle files if they come from a particular directory though.
