ADVANCED USERS:

If you wish to enable a specific PHP version on a per directory basis, please create a .htaccess with the following code (where the number 5 is the version of PHP you wish to use):

NOTE: Valid PHP versions currently are 4 and 5. In the above example, we will be forcing PHP to use version 5 in that directory and all sub directories. This will override your default PHP version configured in your control panel allowing fine-grained control of the PHP version you wish to use on your site.
