Also keep in mind that you can upgrade your server to any PHP version you want (you have to do this manually of course). If all else fails you can always revert back to an older version. You won't break anything by doing this.

I've noticed that 1&1 Hosting (and perhaps other companies as well) offer PHP3, PHP4, and PHP5 on their servers.

I imagine to do this we'd have to install all three as separate PHP installs, not as part of HTTP.

If we're to do this, do each of our clients have to then specify which version of PHP they want on each script, or does anyone have a simple way to set this as a default, perhaps somehow in httpd.conf, or perhaps in a separate PHP file they could install in their own directory?

Thanks.

I'm not sure how 1&1 does it but you can specify it so that .php files use one version .php3 uses php3 and so on.

You might be able to set the defaut that a users account uses by not loading php in the main httpd.conf and loading the wanted php module in each users httpd.conf.
I have not tested this, just an idea. I'm not even sure it can work.

I can't see how it would work; PHP has to be loaded into the httpd daemon (apache) as it's started.

I suppose I could log into that free three year 1&1 plan I signed up for about a year ago, and see how they did it.

I'm concerned because if we set up one by default surely someone is going to upload a php program s/he gets from somewhere requiring a different version, and ask us why it doesn't work.

So I think we'll leave the default as it is and install PHP5 to be called separately as described elsewhere in these forums.

Thanks.

The easiest way to implement this is to have seperate servers each with a different version of PHP. When your customer chooses a PHP version he then gets an account on the corresponding server. ModernBill will let you do this with order groups...
