Hi guys,
I have been looking for some information, about the way Php is configured on a Remote Server , on the Internet for a few days and I think that the right place to post my question is here. So, I have a Web host(shared) which has everything up and running but it runs Php 4.x.x while I need 5.1.x. I have been told that by compiling the Php source and then upload the compiled files I can set another version on the server but I am not aware of the way how to tell Apache what to load(Actually, I have an idea but I am not sure whether I am right.). If I set a .htaccess file with the required settings(loadmodule(If it works with a module) path to the place with dlls(the php one)).

I would be very grateful if you can give me some information about that configuration and how to do it.

Last I saw .htaccess doesn't support LoadModule level directives. Talk to your host about getting them to upgrade.

Without access to httpd.conf, I believe that would be a no.
