Hello,

I need to test some programs with php5 and with php7

both seems to be available in yast (42.2)

is it safe to install both on the same computer?

if so, how can I make sure my php (web) applications use the desired version? virtualserver on apache or .htaccess?

thanks jdd

If you install php7, php5 will get deinstalled. Both packets provide /usr/bin/php (see zypper info --provides php7 and the same with php5) and therefore conflict. With default opensuse, you cannot run 2 different php versions. Afaik, running 2 different versions in one apache is only possible with cgi (fascgi), and you have to install a 2nd php on a non-system location. You could also run 2 apache webservers with 2 different mod_php on different ports (port 80 and 8080 for example). Another solution: Use a virtual system like kvm, lxc, docker, ... install the php7 environment there. If you only have one public IP, you can use apache virtual hosting and mod_proxy to route some of the http traffic to your php7-VM.

odd

I have the choice on hostinger.fr of the php version,

As you do on openSUSE, but does hostinger.fr offer both at the same time? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

it's a free hosting, so I can have as many accounts I want and choose for each the php version I need

Okay. As Florian suggested, you need two openSUSE machines, one with php5, one with php7. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Then all that is required to chose between the two is to set the interpreter at the top of any .php file that requires php5 to the correct executable, e.g.:

#!/usr/bin/php56

isn't it possible to use .htaccess to do the map php->phpX I didn't use .htaccess for a long time now thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you're running apache with preforked workers, by the time .htaccess is read, php is already loaded.

In Apache, the only way to run separate php versions is cgi (fastcgi or plain cgi).

ok, thanks anyway as I found a free host that allows switching between php version, I could test my code and validate it thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
