Hi All,

In the situation if there are two PHP's installed on the Linux box.
How to know which PHP is used by Apache?

Another question is do Apache need PHP's binary to execute PHP Scripts? If
yes what is the role of libphp5.so in Apache?

Note: PHP is configured as module under Apache.

Appreciate your thoughts.

The libphp5.so is the Apache module that links PHP into Apache. You need
this and PHP installed if you want to use PHP in Apache.

The module itself indicates what version of PHP Apache will be using.

First of all, libphp5.so is created during the php compilation process.
So it will use version of php with which it was compiled.

Also, I don't think php's binary is needed for execution of php scripts
is needed.
