Hi Peter. If you want to install php4 and php5 simultaneously, then I suggest that you use two versions of apache2. One version running on port 80 as standard with php4, and another version running php5, on a different port than 80.
This way, there should be no conflicts with the php apache modules. I don't think you can install php4 & php5 together in one instance of Apache, due to Apache not knowing what instance of php you are referring to in your php code. HTH Keith In theory, theory and practice are the same; In practice they are not.
