Take the 2-minute tour ×  How can I install another PHP version?
I have php 5.4.5 for now, but I need the version 5.3.15 running
too.  How can I perform this on Fedora 17? Without using a
Virtual Machine?  share|improve this question  1 Answer 1  up

this is to download the php source code from
http://php.net/downloads.php and compile it with ./configure
--prefix=/opt/php/5.3.15 or something to that effect. Then, your
new php will not conflict with any system packages. Note that on
Fedora, you will need to install a bunch of -devel packages to
build php with the functionality you most likely want.

final php executable? Looks hidden o.O –  GarouDan Aug 27 '12 at

(not sure if you did that already). But jordanm's answer is
where it should be. –  zje Aug 28 '12 at 0:5
