Multiple versions of PHP on VPS - How do I set it up?

[CBG]

Hi,

I have a cPanel/WHM VPS which currently has PHP 5.3.x installed.
I would like to add PHP 5.4.x and PHP 5.5.x, that can be enabled via .htacess on a per folder setup.

Can anyone give me a guide on how to install PHP 5.4.x and PHP 5.5.x along side PHP 5.3.x.

The default would be PHP 5.3.x

Can someone give me a guide, as I would like to do it myself, but never done it before and would like to know how to update it etc...


I have the following installed on PHP at this time:

Configure Command
'./configure' '--disable-fileinfo' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-libxml' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-pdo=shared' '--enable-soap' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-zip' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-curl=/opt/curlssl/' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext' '--with-imap=/opt/php_with_imap_client/' '--with-imap-ssl=/usr' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-kerberos' '--with-libdir=lib64' '--with-libexpat-dir=/usr' '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2' '--with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2/' '--with-mcrypt=/opt/libmcrypt/' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-openssl-dir=/usr' '--with-pcre-regex=/opt/pcre' '--with-pdo-mysql=shared' '--with-pdo-sqlite=shared' '--with-pic' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-pspell' '--with-sqlite=shared' '--with-tidy=/opt/tidy/' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr'

Have you consulted with the developers of that software application to see if there are any special requirements for enabling PHP modules?

Thank you.
