Comments on: Install multiple versions of PHP on shared hosting http://agoln.net/archives/18 Development and personal site Wed, 12 May 2010 16:55:16 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Logan http://agoln.net/archives/18/comment-page-1#comment-26 Logan Wed, 16 May 2007 03:55:41 +0000 http://agoln.net/archives/18#comment-26 Correct me if I am wrong here, but you are suggesting I make multiple images with different PHP versions? Although I can set up full images with VMWare, it would need much more memory and processing power for me to do what I want. It is quite overkill for my needs. I am only wanting to change PHP versions at this time, not change much of anything else. A virtual machine, Eclipse, Firefox, IE, Outlook, and ITunes doesn't go very fast on my current laptop albeit I have done this a few times. This kind of testing may become much more important and valuable when my projects mature and I need to take into account different server environments, but for now, I was mostly needing this to test a documentation bug in PHP when it was referenced to an older PHP version.

You could get some different images of different setups and swap them in and out using vmware-player for simulating multiple testing environments.
