I've successfully configured a development environment using mod_fcgid to run PHP. I define the scope with:

Code:
<FilesMatch \.php$>
   Options +ExecCGI
   SetHandler fcgid-script
</FilesMatch>


.. where fcgid-script is (I presume) a hard-coded handler provided by the module. To handle different PHP versions I keep a set of *.conf files and invoke the appropriate one inside every virtual host using Include. So far so good.

Some times I need to test a given feature in different versions within the same project. Since Include isn't .htaccess-friendly that implies restarting Apache. Trying to find an even more convenient way, I thought that perhaps I could feed SetHandler (which can be used in .htaccess) with a custom handler:

Code:
SetHandler php-5.3-script


Docs say that "Handlers can either be built into the server or included in a module, or they can be added with the Action directive" but here's where I got lost because Actions needs a URL-path.

Is what I'm trying to do not possible? Am I overlooking an easier way?

Hi,

what works is in *.config file

Code:

<Files ~ "\.php$">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
      AddHandler fcgid-script .php
      FcgidWrapper "C:/php7/php-cgi.exe" .php
   </Files>



In .htaccess you can override the FcgidWrapper[1]

But you have to make sure not to set

Code:

FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC "C:\\php7"


since you can't override FcgidInitialEnv in a.htaccess file. I'm not sure PHP will pick the correct php.ini file. But it should. I haven't tried that since restating apache is easy.

If you still have a question please ask again.
