I have an application that will only run with PHP5 but also versions 5.2.6 or earlier.  Is it possible to install PHP 5.2.6 in a local shared hosting account and configure the htaccess file to use it.  Or if you know of a hosting company that will support a separate version of PHP. TIA.

Unless your hosting company has same lame admins it won't. This would be a serious security flaw.

You can always try :)

 

[edit]

 

Oh... were you talking about installing PHP or your PHP application?

Cayse I was talking about installing PHP... I a bit dumb today I guess..

Installing php (a web server language extension) requires administrative access to the web server configuration files.

 

Your first post does not make any sense - PHP 5.2.6 is PHP5. What problem are you having with a php script?

We are using DOMPDF. It is known to be broken after version 5.2.6.

There are a dozen logs on forums (check sourceforge.net) with our same problem which is a 500 error to the browser and a core dump that dies on rendering an HTML page.

 

We have hundreds of man hours in developed scripts.  So we need to find a hosting company that will support a separate version of PHP or install one ourselves until later versions of PHP fix the problem.  DOMPDF only runs in PHP5....

 

Have a solution?
