Gordon Hemsley --- ## #6976 — Andi Gutmans — 2004-01-11T19:05:01+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/6966#6976 · In reply to: #6966 Migration from PHP 4 to PHP 5 should be quite easy. I don't think we should get into trying to make them co-exist. We might hit quite a few bumps on the way. I think that until you are ready to completely migrate, running PHP 5 as a CGI is a decent solution.

Versioning doesn't always seem to do all of the tricks. At 08:08 PM 1/11/2004 +0100, DvDmanDT wrote: >For me it's not really a problem, but that's in my case...

If you're running a webserver with dozens of virtual hosts and you want to migrate them one by one it would have been nice to be able to selectively choose PHP4 or PHP5 module for each virtual host. The CGI solution is a poor crutch. But if you think it can't be done with modules then we'll have to believe you I guess. I think we need to spend more time on the migration process if there ever is another major PHP version coming up. Not that I long for one, as a user of the language I was quite happy with PHP4 :-) - Chris
