Apache set specific PHP binary

Question

I have googled this and found lots of hits which appeared to be the same as I was asking but turned out not to be.

I have 2 different versions of PHP installed, and I would like to specify exactly which php binary apache uses when it starts up.

How could this be done?

Answer 1

Here is an example to indicate version 5.3 should be used and the route to php.ini. Add the following lines to .htaccess:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php
SuPHP_ConfigPath /PathTo/DirWithPHP.ini
