title: Downgrade XAMPP PHP from 5.4 to 5.3 on Mac 10.7
body: <p>I've got a Macbook Pro 13" 64bit (early '11) with the latest XAMPP version. This version is shipped with PHP 5.4.*.</p>
  
  <p>As I'm developing sites for a server that runs Debian with php 5.3.* it's pretty confusing when uploading sites, testing them and to redo stuff because of different php versions.</p>
  
  <p>So now I'm looking for a way to downgrade php from 5.4 to 5.3 - would be cool if there is a version-switcher, but not necessary for now.</p>
  
  <p>stackoverflow had the question already by now, but it mostly states the fact of using Windows. The structure isn't the same, so I can't use the tips for my mac.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an answer that I already tried: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/1422622">https://stackoverflow.com/a/1422622</a>
  The problem is, that I can't start Apache after changing the file(s):</p>

  <p>In an older version of XAMPP I found a phpswitcher-script and tried it with an older PHP version of XAMPP. The script tells me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can downgrade PHP?</p>
