You should be able to do that with PHP4 and PHP5. However, most people don't wnat to have to use "php5" and "php4" as file extensions but rather want to be able to say, "everything on blah.com use php5 and everything on foo.org use php4"... or even to specify differeing versions within a single host (on a per-directory basis) You can easily accomplish this by using PHP4 as a module and PHP5 as CGI (and i'm sure other ways as well, but ive only personally done it this way) It makes it very easy to selectively downgrade (or upgrade) depending on your needs without having to jump through file-naming hoops or proxy ports, etc...

Just a quick sanity check from a php4 user who's thinking of trying php5: With PHP3 and PHP4 (I thought) you could install both Apache modules and invoke them on a page by page basis based on the extension you assign them in Apache ( .php v. .php4 for example). Are you all saying you can't do that with PHP4 and PHP5? Why not?
