I have not tried it, but I would think it possible. PHP is part of the webserver so its nothing to do with the client side of things. Logging in as a different user would not change the webserver. If you compiled php as an Apache module, with the source code in two separate directories then having both these lines in httpd.conf: LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so but with one commented out might work. When you wanted to swap over, uncomment the one you want and comment out the other, then restart the webserver. Now this is only a suggested possiblilty, so it may not work. I've not tried OSX either. I guess the question I would ask is do you _need_ both versions? Hope this helps Chris
