This is from my host's website:

With Linux hosting packages you have the choice between PHP 4 and 
PHP 5. To distinguish a script as PHP 5, simply name the script with the
file 
extension .php5.

Please note that in contrast to PHP 4, the default for the variable
RegisterGlobals and allow_url_fopen is "off".

By default Apache uses PHP 4 for .php extension. If you don't want to
rename all your 
scripts to .php5 you can do the following:
Create a .htaccess file and place the following line AddType
x-mapp-php5 .php in it.

This will tell Apache to use PHP 5 instead of PHP 4 for the
extension .php in the 
directory the .htaccess is placed and all sub-directories under it.

Hopefully that will help you too.
