I think it's more of a systemic thing than a single developer breaking
a feature...
I'm not quite sure how they got all the symbols (read: internal PHP
function names) to be "different" between PHP3 and PHP4, but I suspect
it was a butt-load of work for not much benefit.
You can run as many versions as you want in FastCGI pretty trivially.
Oh, and to answer another question in this thread:
I don't know how many shared webhosts offer the ability to change PHP
version with ForceType in .htaccess
I only know that mine has offered that for quite some time, to easy
any problems with clients who need to install niche software.
I also know that another webhost of one of my clients' does it.
So from a tiny non-representative sample, I'm looking at about 2 out
of 6 webhosts I've experienced.
YMMV
I never saw a shared host with more than one PHP version installed
actually, probably becaues they were all with Apache and not with
FastCGI. So, for me it would be 0 out of 9...
