ForceType and multiple PHP versions

Hello,

I have a site hosted with the Dreamhost webhost. I attempted to get this problem solved via their customer support, but have apparently stumped them with this one. They suggested I try asking here. I don't know all the details of their setup, so if you have any questions, please post them, and I will pass them on to get any information you may need.

In order to make urls on my site more user friendly, I have added the following to my .htaccess:

<files view>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

Code (markup):

This should allow the file "view" to execute as a php script without requiring the .php extension. Dreamhost offers multiple versions of PHP, and it appears that ForceType in my .htaccess is calling the wrong instance of php.

I have put up a demonstration of the problem at http://proofconcept.dreamhosters.com/

Both "view" and "view.php" contain the code:

<?php   echo 'Current PHP version: ' . phpversion();   ?>

PHP:

And htaccess contains:

<files view>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

Code (markup):

After all of that, my question is: how can I get the correct version of PHP to execute using ForceType?

Thank you for your help,
Derek

 

Never mind, I've figured it out.

<files view>
ForceType php5-cgi
</files>

Code (markup):

 

Yes that one can be tricky, you might want to tell the support guys as well, so they will know in the future if the same problem arises =)
