How to Change PHP Version via .htaccess File

Last Updated on Thursday, 14 February 2013 09:29 Written by Naveed Ashraf Thursday, 14 February 2013 12:00

On a server, there is possibility to have more than one compiled php version. If you wish to use a php version other than the default one, you can use the .httaccess file for this purpose.

If the default php version on a server is set to php 5, then by default, all domains will use php5.  If a certain application installed on a domain runs only under php4, thenit is necessary that the domain uses php4

Open .htaccess by any suitable editor. Put the following code into it:

Server without suphp enabled

AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php .htm .html

Server with suphp enabled

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php4 .php .htm .html

In the same way, you can enable other php versions if they are installed/compiled over the server.

In today’s web environment you have a great number of options when it comes to technologies to use, images to show, animation to run, navigation to launch, as well as many different frameworks to implement but one area that has always been fairly limited is in different fonts.  For the most part you have just a few (relatively speaking) to pick from.  You can look at sites like ampsite, MIT, webDesigndev and many others and you will find that you have about 16 fonts or so.  This has always bothered me.  You want to provide the user with a unique experience which should include fonts that are tailored to your site design.  You can create a wide range of graphics text but these are neither scalable nor search engine optimized.

Just about everyone in today’s internet has either a Google, Bing or MapQuest map on their web page, and although this is a fine idea there have been several times when I want to know how to get there from where I live, work, or eat.  You are left with a couple of choices, you could try and copy and paste to Google map and then add a destination or you could zoom out and try and figure it out yourself.

Furthermore; if you wanted to capture the address that they are using you might find a pattern which might help target your advertising dollar. This article will walk you through the steps to add this to your site. Trust me it is not very difficult.
