Description:
------------
Both PHP4 and PHP5 uses the same MIME types:

application/x-httpd-php

It makes impossible to use PHP4 and PHP5 as apache modules on the same server.

Can you change it to application/x-httpd-php5 in new PHP version? I'd like to say that PHP3 and PHP4 lives together on the same server without any problem, because they have different MIME types.

I also know that on Windows we can open PHP dll in any binary editor and manually correct MIME. Then we may use php4 and php5 together. I have not tried this technique on Unix. Any problem with compatibility with php4? Please answer something.

Changing the mime-type can be done in the mod_php5.c at 
line 910 (for Apache 1.3, for Apache 2 it shouldn't be a 
big difference) 
http://lxr.php.net/source/php-src/sapi/apache/mod_php5.c#910 
But even if you change this you still can't make both 
versions work on the same Apache - the only sollution ist 
to run different insances of Apache on different ports 
(that's what I do) or run at least one as CGI.

Thanks in advice.

But why? Would PHP5 ever been compatible with PHP4 on the same apache or not? What the prospects?

I am sure: if PHP5 would live with PHP4 on the same server, it will greatly improve its popularity. (I am working as system administrator of large hosting provider.)

Using both 5 and 4 as modules on the same server doesn't work, use 
FastCGI/CGI for one of them.
