I have a system build with Laravel 5.5 and it needs PHP version 7.
I have deployed the project to site ground server, updated PHP version using PHP version but when I ran php -v command via putty it is showing me PHP version 5. I don't know what going on.
I shall be thankful if someone tell me that what is the proper way of updating PHP version?
I have also tried AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70s .php in my .htaccess files but got nothing fruitful
You can change the PHP CLI version through SSH. After connecting through SSH type cd ~ and then find .bash_profile file. Open the .bash_profile file with nano or vi which you would like to use and enter this line:
alias php=/usr/local/php72/bin/php-cli
and save the file. After that run command:
source .bash_profile
And your PHP CLI version has been changed. To confirm the PHP version type php -v and it will show you the version which you just changed.
P.S: In my case, I want to change the PHP CLI version to PHP 7.2 so I use php72 in alias php=/usr/local/php72/bin/php-cli. You can change it to any other version which you need.
So there's no problem if you see PHP5 using command line and PHP7 using php file with phpinfo();. Your hosting provider allows you to choose from several PHP version. You can select PHP7 e.g. using .htaccess but it doesn't have to change PHP CLI version. So when you set PHP7 in .htaccess file it serves your website using PHP7, but CLI is still v5.
By the way, this type of question should be asked on superuser I think.

I want to downgrade php version from 7.1.1 to 5.6 in xampp 7.1.1. But I can't find any option.
I think the most safest downgrade path from PHP7 to PHP5 in Xampp is:
Download a self-packaged version of Xampp with PHP5 from here (as of today this is xampp-win32-5.6.37-0-VC11.zip).
Rename the php folder to php7 in Xampp.
Now copy the php folder from xampp-win32-5.6.37-0-VC11.zip into your Xampp install folder.
Make a backup from .\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file.
Replace this file from xampp-win32-5.6.37-0-VC11.zip as well.
This way the config files (including php.ini) has settings from the Xampp team.
Before any changes, to verify changed Apache configs, you can compare both Xampp release folder at .\xampp\apache\conf with tools like Meld.
I should note that please download PHP 5 and 7 Xampp packages released at the same time.
Notify me if I miss something.
If you want to downgrade php from 7.1.1 to 5.6 in xampp follow the steps(For Windows):-
Go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.36/
Download and extract the file xampp-win32-5.6.36-0-VC11.zip see the image
[image 1][1]
Delete php folder and apache folder present in C:\xampp
Copy php folder and apache folder from extracted file and paste it to C:\xampp
Add " C: " before \xampp\ to php ini file present in php folder.
Start your apache and MySQL and check php version. It will show php 5.6.36
Just delete this xampp, and download 5.6 version.
There is no option to downgrade XAMPP. XAMPP is hardcoded with specific PHP version to make sure all the modules are compatible and working properly. However if your project needs PHP 5.6, you can just install a older version of XAMPP with PHP 5.6 packaged into it.
Source: How to downgrade php from 5.5 to 5.3
Change the .htaccess code to switch to PHP 5.6:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php
XAMPP is an integrated package and you can not downgrade or change one of its component such as php. (There are some solutions that you can use but there is little chances that everything work fine.)
You can download the package from these links:
https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/
You had better to download the old package form sourceforge.net.
You do not have to install another version of Xampp. I've managed to use PHP 5.6 on my Xampp PHP 7 version. Here is what you need to do to make it works:
Raname (backup) <XAMPP_DIR>\php to <XAMPP_DIR>\php~7
Copy (backup) <XAMPP_DIR>\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf to <XAMPP_DIR>\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp~7.conf
Download PHP5 and unpack it to <XAMPP_DIR>\php
Edit <XAMPP_DIR>\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf and change all php5 occurrences to php7. You need to change php7apache2_4.dll to php5apache2_4.dll, php7ts.dll to php5ts.dll and php7_module to php5_module
Ensure all your paths are correct like extension_dir in php.ini.
Restart Apache and voila.
If you want to downgrade php version, just simply edit yout .htaccess file.
Like you want to downgrade any php version to 5.6, just add this into .htaccess file
<FilesMatch "\.(php4|php5|php7|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
etHandler application/x-lsphp56
</FilesMatch>
I know it might be late but I'm just adding to Lanti's answer since it's the most popular, I had the same problem as Wouter Vanherck in the comments and I can't comment yet.
What helped for me was instead of just replacing \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf I replaced the whole apache folder. I basically did the same thing with it as with the php folder (steps 2 and 3).
Now the error is fixed and Apache starts just fine.
Using WAMP is perforce option if we want to use more then one version of php.
It is very easy to do, all you need to do is
1) download 5.6 from [1]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.36/, the run the setup and install in folder "xampp"
2) download 7.6 from [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/7.4.2/xampp-portable-windows-x64-7.4.2-0-VC15-installer.exe/download][1] and run the setup in "xampp2"
NOte: after that you now have separate xampp installed in your system. all you do now is to run each xampp as a separate entity. Alway quite the 5.6 if you want to run 7.6
This solution is Only for local system / localhost on windows:
The simplest way to install xampp 5.6.X version as per your requirement in other windows drive then run xampp 5.6.X services from it's control panel for php 5.6 version.
NOTE: If you already have xampp (any other version) on your system then please close that xampp's services then start xampp 5.6.x services otherwise this solution will not work.
You can download your required (xampp 5.6 as per question) xampp version from below link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/
I have used this solution many times, it worked like charm. I hope this will also help you. Thank you to ask this question.
i was trying the same, so i downloaded the .7zip version of XAMPP with php 5.6.33 from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.33/
then followed the steps below:
1. rename c:\xampp\php to c:\xampp\php7
2. raname C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf to httpd-xampp7.OLD
3. copy php folder from XAMPP_5.6 7zip archive to c:\xampp\
4. copy file httpd-xampp.conf from XAMPP_5.6 7zip archive to C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\
open xampp control panel and start Apache and then visit ( i am using port 82 instead of default 80)
http://localhost
and then click PHPInfo to see if it is working as expected.
Opening localhost shows dashboard
Opening phpinfo shows version 5.6
I need to switch Php version from 5.4 to 5.5. I adjusted Php version in Cpanel. Now current version seems 5.5 in Cpanel. However, I can't see a change when I execute this command from command pompt:
php -v
This is output of it:
PHP 5.4.45 (cli) ...
How can I switch Php version for Command line?
For those who have these problem with any PHP version, you can create a symbolic link to the php version you want and edit the PATH to prioritize your command per user:
> mkdir bin
> ln -s /usr/local/bin/ea-php73 bin/php
> vim .bashrc
#Put the following code on bottom
export PATH="/home/[usuario]/bin:$PATH"
Logout, login and try php -v
I solved it using this:
/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/php /opt/cpanel/composer/bin/composer update
I'm using Cpanel & WHM v96.0.15
Yes, You can. cpanel comes with a script called easyapache. You can find the script under
/scripts/easyapache
. Its an interactive script will let you choose versions on the go.
You can change the php version using EasyApache4 and MultiPHP (that would be one way to do it).
Another way would be to have CloudLinux license, install Cloudlinux kernel and CageFS + PHPSelector. This way each cPanel user can have its own custom php version no matter what php version runs on the server (You can change the php version from cPanel, from 5.x to 7.x). Of course, for isntalling composer you will need to provide ssh access to that user.
You can run EasyApache as root on a ssh console or via WHM. If you just have a cPanel account and not root access you won't be able to change the PHP version. Even if you change it you cant installer composer without ssh access.
Quick and simple solution would be to use cPanel web Terminal.
I have installed MAMP 3.5 with Apache 2.4.16 on Yosemite 10.10.5 and have run into some obstacles that I find hard to solve.
The first issue was that virtual host settings have changed in Apache but that I managed to fix.
The remaining problem is with extensions. I use gettext in an application and it can not be found.
php -v says PHP 5.6.10 (cli)
phpinfo() says PHP 5.5.27
php --ini says /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.10/conf/php.ini
The php.ini path seems to be correct although phpinfo() says that extension_dir is /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212
This seems very strange to me? The gettext extension is not in this directory but is found along with all other relevant extensions in the directory listed in the php.ini file for PHP 5.6.10 which is the one that should be used...
Any ideas what has gone wrong and how I can make PHP use the correct ini file?
CLI uses the installed version of OSX, MAMP uses it's own version.
The easiest way to use same version for both is to add the MAMP version first in your path in ~/.bash_profile.
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/bin/:~/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
of course you need to replace the php7.0.0 part with the version you want to use.
Quit your terminal app and reopen it, and try php -v again.
Is there a way to downgrade php 5.5 to 5.3 in xampp? I searched on google but every one just tell me to uninstall xampp and install an older version. Could I have php 5.5 downgrade to 5.3 without reinstall xampp?
Short answer is no.
XAMPP is normally built around a specific PHP version to ensure plugins and modules are all compatible and working correctly.
If your project specifically needs PHP 5.3 - the cleanest method is simply reinstalling an older version of XAMPP with PHP 5.3 packaged into it.
XAMPP 1.7.7 was their last update before moving off PHP 5.3.
Long answer: it is possible!
Temporarily rename existing xampp folder
Install xampp 1.7.7 into xampp folder
name
Folder containing just installed 1.7.7 distribution rename to different name and previously existing xampp folder rename back just to xampp.
In xampp folder rename php and apache folders to different names (I propose php_prev and apache_prev) so you can after switch back to them by renaming them back.
Copy apache and php folders from folder with xampp
1.7.7 into xampp directory
In xampp directory comment line apache/conf/httpd.conf:458
#Include "conf/extra/httpd-perl.conf"
In xampp directory do next replaces in files:
php/pci.bat:15
from
"C:\xampp\php\.\php.exe" -f "\xampp\php\pci" -- %*
to
set XAMPPPHPDIR=C:\xampp\php

Enjoy new XAMPP with PHP 5.3
Checked by myself in XAMPP 5.6.31, 7.0.15 & 7.1.1 with XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.2
It is possible! Yes
In many cases, you might want to use XAMPP with a different PHP version than the one that comes preinstalled.
You might do this to get the benefits of a newer version of PHP, or to reproduce bugs using an earlier
version of PHP.
To use a different version of PHP with XAMPP, follow these steps:
Download a binary build of the PHP version that you wish to use from the PHP website, and extract the contents of the compressed
archive file to your XAMPP installation directory (usually, C:\xampp).
Ensure that you give it a different directory name to avoid
overwriting the existing PHP version. For example, in this tutorial,
we’ll call the new directory C:\xampp\php5-6-0. NOTE : Ensure that the
PHP build you download matches the Apache build (VC9 or VC11) in your
XAMPP platform.
Within the new directory, rename the php.ini-development file to php.ini. If you prefer to use production settings, you could instead
rename the php.ini-production file to php.ini.
Edit the httpd-xampp.conf file in the apache\conf\extra\ subdirectory of your XAMPP installation directory. Within this file,
search for all instances of the old PHP directory path and replace
them with the path to the new PHP directory created in Step 1. In
particular, be sure to change the lines
LoadFile "/xampp/php/php5ts.dll"
LoadFile "/xampp/php/libpq.dll"
LoadModule php5_module "/xampp/php/php5apache2_4.dll"
to
LoadFile "/xampp/php5-6-0/php5ts.dll"
LoadFile "/xampp/php5-6-0/libpq.dll"
LoadModule php5_module "/xampp/php5-6-0/php5apache2_4.dll"
NOTE : Remember to adjust the file and directory paths above to reflect
valid paths on your system.
Restart your Apache server through the XAMPP control panel for your changes to take effect. The new version of PHP should now be active.
To verify this, browse to the URL
http://localhost/xampp/phpinfo.php, which displays the output of the
phpinfo() command, and check the version number at the top of the
page.
I did this in my local environment. Wasn't difficult but obviously it was done in "unsupported" way.
To do the downgrade you need just to download php 5.3 from http://php.net/releases/ (zip archive), than go to xampp folder and copy subfolder "php" to e.g. php5.5 (just for backup). Than remove content of the folder php and unzip content of zip archive downloaded from php.net. The next step is to adjust configuration (php.ini) - you can refer to your backed-up version from php 5.5. After that just run xampp control utility - everything should work (at least worked in my local environment). I didn't found any problem with such installation, although I didn't tested this too intensively.
I just used a very simpler way for this and I just put it here if it could help anyone else.
I just had so much data on my database and I didn't want to transfer my whole Database so I just installed an older version of XAMPP with the PHP version that I required in a new directory (example:XAMPP-OLD) then I opened two control panel of 2 different version of XAMPP and start the MYSQL from the Newer version and Start Apache from the older version to use the other version of PHP.
just keep in mind to transfer files to the other XAMPP folder
I'm trying to install orocrm on centos server and it is asking for PHP 5.4 and ICU library 4.4. Although I updated PHP and restarted Apache my php version still shows PHP 5.3 if outputting phpinfo in a php page. But,if I use php -v command then it shows php 5.5
ini path is shown /usr/local/lib/php.ini if using php page but through command it shows /etc/php.ini
please help...
The PHP 5.4 you compiled is not getting picked up by Apache. Rather than figuring out how to point Apache to this installation, the easiest (and safer since you'll get security updates) is to use the IUS Community repository
I have a couple of thoughts. If you're on CentOS you're probably using YUM as your package manager. With it, you could remove the PHP's and add a new one (if you don't have active clients using it). You can search what PHP version yum has by doing one of these:
yum list
yum list installed
If it registers multiple versions, you can "yum remove $package".
If you're php -v showing version 5.5, then your path is set to include that. You can see that by typing $PATH from the command line when SSH'd in. In your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.profile) you can edit your $PATH by adding something like:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
EDIT: You should back up your PATH before writing a new one and after you edit it type "source ~/.bashrc" or "source ~/.profile" to make the command line see it.
You can also directly edit the php in the .bashrc to point to the correct version by setting up an alias (if you don't fix the root of the problem) like
alias php="/path/to/php"
You can see where your current php is by typing:
which php
Your PHP extension comes from the apache httpd.conf file. You can find it somewhere like /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Search for "LoadModule" or "LoadModule php" and see which extension of PHP your apache is pointing to. It may still be pointing to an incorrect version.
To answer your question about ICU, it comes from the "intl" extension. With yum, this is probably called php-intl or php54-intl or php54w-intl. You can do something like "yum search intl" and it should give you the exact extension name.
I hope this helps!
