Judging sheerly by functionality and compatibility the second ways is
better.
However, judging from what I know about PHP, nobody tries to make that
way easier, because everybody assu

"The real world" works that way because, as you just said, installing 2
php modules side by side is a "great deal of system administration".

That's exactly my point.

Not true. Quite a few of the discussions of new features and even some
bugfixes end up on "can't be done because of BC".

On the final hand, if you pass the pages off from apache to a php
exe or module.. How does Apache know which one to pass it to? Php4 or
Php5?
By the processing instruction target. That's what it's there for. I
guess php 5 and 4 are not the best examples, since php5 already uses

It does? I wouldn't waste my money with a host that was unable to
provide PHP 5 support, at least in some way. I think the "it will
break lots of scripts" is a cop-out. There are various ways to allow
both on one server. Assuming they're technically proficient enough of
course.

None of my code breaks from 4 to 5, I also run a small hosting company
and I upgrade when I see improvements to the software that would
warrent an upgrade. MySQL 4.1.12, Apache 2, PHP5. I also think its a
cop out by those who dont have alot of time to upgrade their 30+

First, if every version of the language would have it's own tag, then
there would be no need to maintain BC beyond reasonable necessity.
Second, hosing providers would be more apt to upr
