I've been testing amfphp with PHP4 and PHP5 lately (PHP5 supports try..catch so the error handling is different), and got tired of switching between both manually, so I whipped up a little python script to toggle php versions:
import shutil;
f = file("C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf")
content = f.read()
php4 = False
if content.find("#LoadModule php4") != -1:
php4 = True
content = content.replace("#LoadModule php4", "LoadModule php4")
content = content.replace("LoadModule php5", "#LoadModule php5")
content = content.replace("#AddModule mod_php4.c", "AddModule mod_php4.c")
content = content.replace("AddModule mod_php5.c", "#AddModule mod_php5.c")
else:
content = content.replace("LoadModule php4", "#LoadModule php4")
content = content.replace("#LoadModule php5", "LoadModule php5")
content = content.replace("AddModule mod_php4.c", "#AddModule mod_php4.c")
content = content.replace("#AddModule mod_php5.c", "AddModule mod_php5.c")
f.close()
f = file("C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf", "w")
f.write(content)
if php4:
shutil.copy("C:\php4\php.ini", "C:\windows\php.ini")
else:
shutil.copy("C:\php\php.ini", "C:\windows\php.ini")
I have php 5 installed in c:\php and php 4 installed in c:\php4 with their respective php.ini files. Hope it can be of some use.
