Switching PHP Versions

[Psybadek]

I have the newest version of XAMPP, and at the moment, im using PHP 5, how do I switch it to php 4.3.8?

Try uninstalling php 5 and reinstalling the version 4

ehh, how about running php-switch.bat under the xampp directory. it backs up your php5 files and copies the php4.3.8 files in.

Im havin trouble usin the switch bat..

it keeps sayin that apache is still running..

all services are shut down and I even removed xampp and on a fresh install it told me apache was running..

am I missing something/?

I've had the same problem :: The script kept telling me that Apache was running, even though it was not. Do you have a firewall running? Even if it is not "enabled" it may still be handling or checking port 80. Make sure you turn these off. This was the case with me - Norton Internet Security was checking port 80. I stopped that and the php-switch worked fine.

The process to switch PHP versions checks to see if anything is handling port 80 (like Apache), tho' I guess it doesn't go to far into what is doing it...
Cheers.
