> but you have both php4 and php5 how cgi?

Yes, on my developement server, I run all PHP versions as CGI, because
- it's easier to set up
- I can run as many PHP versions as I want
- changes in php.ini take effect immediately (no need to restart Apache)

Yes, that would be another solution. I have not tried it, though.

On my server (I'm using XAMPP), PHP is also running as a module, so you can
have that in addition to the CGI versions. Is it really necessary for you to
have PHP run as a module?

Think of the future: PHP4 will no longer be supported, and PHP6 is to come
out soon (read: sooner or later).

Yes, with additional requirements you may have to do it this way. Your
original post, however, was simply about the question of running different
PHP versions concurrently. You had not mentioned any additional constraints.

As I said, I have never tried this solution. To me, it seems a bit
complicated (what if you want more than two PHP versions?), but it really
depends on your specific needs.
