Multiple PHP Versions on Abyss

Hello,

I'd like to set up my server as a web / development server. I want to run PHP6 alongside my normal version (whatever Abyss compiled for me). I will use this to test the compatibility of my existing code.

Is there a way I can use two PHP versions alongside each other?

P.S. I know there are no compiled versions of PHP6 yet, I'll be attempting to do my own.

Thanks,
Toasty

You can install both interpreters within Abyss, and change the file extension for the new version of PHP (to PHP6 for example). This way Abyss processes the .PHP files as normal, but directs .PHP6 to the other version.

^Ah, totally forgot about the associated extension part.

Thanks!
