Is it possible to run PHP4 and PHP5 on the same box and switch back and forth between the two?
How about MySQL4+ and MySQL 5+?
I assume the MySQLs could be run at the same time with the two versions listening on different ports, say 3306 and 3307?

yes, it’s possible, it implies changing relevant configuration entries in apache2.conf plus restarting it every time you are switching.

It seems that this might be the best way to test changes in moving from PHP4 and PHP5.
An alternative would be running VMware with the PHP5 and MySQL 5 configurations.
