Then you have the same reason to worry right now - every php5 install from 5.0.0 to 5.2.3 overwrites libphp5.so. > There was a time where one could have 2 php mod versions running at > once, as I recall, and having different filenames was kinda important, > eh? Well, there was a setting that kinda allowed that, but I'm not sure it ever worked correctly - there are all sorts of symbol clashes, etc. On the other hand, you can happily run two (or a dozen :) PHP versions right now - just install any FastCGI implementation, compile two cgi-fcgi PHPs and install. Only thing you would need to care about is to give them separate php.ini's and/or separate extension directories. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/
