Ah, ok. You want info on how to run 4 & 5 concurrently on a
webserver...what is your OS and web server? I can point you in the
direction for server-specific information on how do to this.
As far as a tutorial on how to make your code work, I really can't
help you there. Best I can suggest is do exactly what you
planned...stand up that php5 server (using it on your current server
is not only convent and cost effective, but it really can't get any
more of the "production-like" environment). There are negative
aspects and you must weigh them, too. You'll probably have two code
bases then, since you'll want/need to maintain you current site and a
second code base to make the necessary changes to work with PHP5. If
you're a single programmer/maintainer, shouldn't be TOO bad, but if
not you may want to invest some time in research a solution to
maintain changes in the two separate bases (versioning software, etc).
I really stress, though, that the PHP manual should give you
everything you need (although, it is a bit dry unlike a (typical)
tutorial). Read through it and if you still don't feel comfortable,
perhaps you may invest in getting a PHP consultant to do an assessment
for you.
