For our shared and reseller webhosting clients you have the option to use php v4 or php v5.  The default is php v5.

If you would like to use php v4 add the following line to your .htaccess file.

#Enable PHPv4
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php4 .php .htm .html

Once you've added the above line to your .htaccess file held within your root web folder /public_html/ it will then force the system to run all your php files in that folder and all sub-folders in php v4 instead of  php v5.

**Please note PHP v4 runs in the standard DSO/CGI mode.

To make alterations to the PHP v4 configs you will utilize the standard .htaccess + php_flag method and NOT the php.ini settings method that is used with our PHP v5 in suPHP mode.
