Hosting – how to switch back to PHP 5.2

For a period of 60 days after the changeover to PHP5.3, due to happen on January 10th 2012 it will be possible to switch accounts back to 5.2 by adding the following line to /home/account/.htaccess, where account is the username you log in to cpanel with:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 .php

Note that after this period this will stop working and the account will be forced to use PHP 5.3
