[fw-general] Multi Php Versions

[Paul]

Attempted to follow Matthew's blog post on running mod_php and fastcgi 
to have multiple versions of php, so that my php shop could begin 
testing sites running php5.3.

A few of our developers are on windows machine, so we thought the best 
way forward was to go with Zend Server CE for windows   So we downloaded 
Zend Server CE for Windows  w/ php 5.2, so they we could continue 
development on our legacy sites, but then follow the article above to 
also be able to play w/ php 5.3.  Unfortunately we could not get this to 
work on Windows w/ the current version of Zend Server CE (would either 
not get Apache to start up or pages were be returned as plain text).

Does anyone have any experience doing this on Windows or able to 
translate Matthew's article for windows (instead of Ubuntu).  Also I 
noticed that Zend Server CE is already running php under FastCGI, 
compared to the article where it assumed Zend Server used mod_php?

Cheers,
Paul
