    Is it possible to have php 4 AND php 5 installed on a dedicated server but lets say all accounts except one use php 5?

    Thanks!

    Yes this is possible, however what is the exact requirement of php4? Most of PHP5 has PHP4 " covered ".

    Also yes you can have both php4 & 5 running together.

    yes it is possible, just set the server for using one of the two, then the account that needs to run with the other version just add the correct addhandler on the .htaccess of that account.

    Yes, it is possible but you cannot run both PHP as dso or cgi. You will need to run on PHP as dso and other PHP as a CGI.

    I am not sure about the exact reason but your PHP script should not be broken if you use both versions on one server.

    I have seen it done before on a Linux machine, not 100% about on windows.
    Why do you need both of them?

    I didn't said that you can't, so .. I asked it just to be sure what we are talking about. Linux & Windows Apache are not 100% identical ( configuration ).
