How to Change your PHP Version

Here at Site5, we offer multiple versions of PHP. Below we have outlined the current versions available and how to use them.

Currently the default version of PHP is 5.3.x. If you want to use PHP 5.2.x or 5.4.x or if you would like to quickly change back to PHP 5.3, just add one of the following commands to your .htaccess file.

PHP 5.2

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 .php

PHP 5.3 (Default)

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php

PHP 5.4

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php

    Note: Below is the direct PHP 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 binary paths.

    /usr/local/php52/bin/php

    /usr/local/php53/bin/php

    /usr/local/php54/bin/php

    Where exactly in the file is this command added?

    Thanks!

        The file will usually be in your "public_html" directory, but it's not created by default. If you don't have one, you can create a blank text file called .htaccess and then add in your modifications.

  I don't know what this is.

Just letting you know that they upgraded php to a newer version and how to use older versions if your sofware requires it. You should be fine.
