PHP version issues

oracleredux · August 27th, 2006, 6:52 PM

The cPanel for the server I am hosted on reports PHP as being version 4.4.2. Some of the scripts I wish to run require version 5. Since the updates were meant to be rolled out by the end of July according to this post: Rolling out PHP5 : May How come my server is still running the old version?

Servers are running both PHP4 and PHP5. To see if you have PHP5 on your server, make a file called 'info.php5'. Put in;

PHP Code:


			
<?php

phpinfo();

?>

If the file works and displays PHP 5.x, you're good to go. You can make PHP5 default by adding it to your .htaccess file.

Ah right, thanks for that, I had suspected but couldn't work out how to make the info call show php5. It worked. How do I go about making it default through my .htaccess file? Download the file, edit it with something, and overwrite?

Any chance that the post referenced in this thread can be unlocked or atleast the instructions made visible again?

I can't unlock, but here is the line to add:

* If you would like all of your .php pages to parse as PHP5 exclusively, you just add a line to your .htaccess file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
