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.)

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.

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.
