Please note that Rasmus Ledorf stated many time that He « don't know how 
to design a programming language », « never intended to create a 
programing language », « don't like programing » and probably the 
funniest one « don't how to stop it » it being the success of PHP.

Back on the article, the author is wrong when stating that it isn't 
possible to run several different versions of PHP on the same server. 
This is possible, I did it several times and for big websites.
