How to set and change a PHP version

The native PHP version is a version from the official OS repository. It is installed automatically along with ispmanager. Additionally, you can install alternative versions from the ispmanager repository. In order to do this navigate to Web-server settings → PHP setup, choose the necessary PHP version and and click Install.  

See the picture below for PHP version examples.

In Web Server Settings → PHP the versions that are available for each of the PHP modes are displayed.

Log in to the control panel as Admin, select the PHP version and click  Apache module to apply it to all the  WWW-domains of the ISPmanager users with the mode "PHP as Apache".

For FastCGI (Nginx + PHP-FPM) the version can be changed in PHP list at the user level or in the user editing from at the admin level. Changes apply to all user's WWW domains using PHP in FastCGI (Nginx + PHP-FPM) mode. This way, the setting is applied to the user.
