IIS5 + PHP4 => IIS5 + PHP4+PHP5
Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2004 3:42 pm
At work we have PHP4 installed on our web server running IIS5.
Now I am trying to convince IT to upgrade to PHP5, and they are a bit scared, so I am thinking of having them install PHP5 next to PHP4, so we can run .php4 scripts with PHP4 but parse .php files with PHP5.
I have been playing with PHP5 at home with Apache, and on my mobile web server with MyWebserver, and it has been working flawlessly in both situations, so I'm really hoping to script in PHP5 at work as well.
Are there any good guides on how to install PHP5 alongside PHP4? I just want to make this as quick and painless for IT as possible, and as of now, I'm the resident PHP guru (and I'm not that much of a guru!), so if I don't know the ins and outs of doing this, they probably won't.
Any tips?
