## #45406 — Chris Trahey — 2009-08-25T20:19:03+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/45406#45406

Attempting to load 2 PHP modules in the same httpd instance.
modified mod_php5.c, php_apache.h, php.sym and sapi_apache2.c
to reflect a unique module name for the second compiled .so, as well as
change the PHP_MAGIC_TYPE to something unique.
basically changing php5_module to php5UNIQUE_module
and application/x-httpd-php to application/x-UNIQUE-php

There is trouble at apache startup with both enabled, but not every time. 
Is it conceivable to have a user-defined module name(space) for loading
multiple php shared objects?

The use:
1. Load mulitple PHP modules at startup.
2. Inside virtual hosts, assign whichever php module is appropriate
3. have v-hosts that point to the same files, but use different versions
of php\
4. requests can look like this: php5-2-10.mysite.com   php5-3-0.mysite.com
 php6-0.mysite.com

I suggest you set up multiple instances of FastCGI instead and let
your web server choose the right CGI gateway per request.
