Hi.
First up, I use windows.
Secondly, I would like to be able to use PHP5 and PHP6 together at the
same time as ISAPI rather than CGI.
I can currently use PHP4 (CGI) and PHP5 (ISAPI) and I can use
different INI files for each (PHP4 uses php.ini, PHP5 CLI uses
php-cli.ini, PHP5 ISAPI uses php-isapi.ini) and all is well.
In adding PHP6 to the mix, I have no way to create a separate INI file for PHP6.
My idea for extending the filename that PHP looks for to include the
major PHP version (from PHP 6 onwards) has not had any response.
Ideally.
php.ini (for PHP4 as that is all there seems to be).
php-sapi.ini (for PHP5 as this is currently working).
php6-sapi.ini (for PHP6 and onwards as this is not yet released and
would actually benefit a LOT of windows users - well, me only,
probably).
Add to that the fallback through the non versioned -sapi and then to
plain php.ini and everything is covered AND you have the future under
control too.
PHP6-isapi.ini, PHP7-ispai.ini, etc.
I'm on Window and I don't have MS Visual Studio or VC++, so I am not
able to compile the PHP source. I have cygwin (I have mods to the
documention). I'm not sure if I compile via cygwin if my PHP will run
in Windows.
I've included my proposed patch.
I copied the code dealing with php-%sapi-module-name% and extended it
to deal with PHP_MAJOR_VERSION.
The only thing I'm not sure of is if the determining of the number of
bytes/characters to add to the emalloc needs to be different for
other platforms. If the PHP_MAJOR_VERSION is less than 10 then I need
to add 1 byte/character otherwise add 2 (to allow up to
PHP_MAJOR_VERSION of 99).
If this goes into the PHP6 snapshot, then you can now run PHP4, PHP5
and PHP6 on the same web server each with its own extensions and
setup. Basically, neither of the versions knows about the other.
Hope this is good.
Regards,
Richard Quadling.

I think this is a good idea. It seems like it'll work long term and it does
solve a problem we have today (and already went half way to solving it).
