running php with virtual servers

Hello,

I'm trying to get php to work with virtual servers, I've already posted to a
php group and was told to try the apache group since it would seem that's
where my problem lies.

Anyway, I have Solaris 9/Apache 1.3.31/PHP 5.1.4 that I compiled from source
code
and installed.

I have multiple virtual web servers configured in httpd.conf and php scripts
run only if they are placed in my first VirtualHost DocumentRoot directory
as defined in httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost X.X.X.X:80>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/sites/webdocdir
</VirtualHost>

I would like to get php scripts to run in one of my other virtual servers
defined in httpd.conf.

Right now, my $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] gets defined (I think) from httpd.conf
such that it points to /usr/local/apache/sites/webdocdir. This I can see
from the results of a phpinfo().

Is there some way of configuring Apache and/or php so that I am not forced
to put php scripts in /usr/local/apache/sites/webdocdir?

thanks for any help,

George
