change PHP version
# install 7.1.3 on ubuntu from source
https://techlist.top/php7-install-from-source/
#1. Re-Install PHP 5.6
#What worked for me was this guide: http://www.lornajane.net/posts/2016/php-7-0-and-5-6-on-ubuntu
#Actually is not required to remove php7.0, you can install php5.6 together ( also because you will have dependency problem with phpmyadmin package that required php7.0)
#Assuming libapache2-mod-php is a suitable way to enable PHP in Apache for you, you can proceed in this way:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.0 php7.0-mysql php7.0-xml apache2 apache2-mod-php7.0 php5.6 php5.6-mysql php-gettext php5.6-mbstring php-mbstring php7.0-mbstring php-xdebug libapache2-mod-php5.6 libapache2-mod-php7.0
#2. Switch PHP version:
#From php5.6 to php7.0:
#Apache:
sudo a2dismod php5.6 ; sudo a2enmod php7.0 ; sudo service apache2 restart
#CLI:
sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.0
#From php7.0 to php5.6:
#Apache:
sudo a2dismod php7.0 ; sudo a2enmod php5.6 ; sudo service apache2 restart
#CLI:
sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php5.6
