Good day!

Please tell me how to replace php 7 with php 5

My parameters:

No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty PHP Version 7.0.9-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1

My actions:

 sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install php5

I already broke the whole thing a couple of times. Please tell me the steps of painless actions so that it all works with the php5.6 version.

thank

    no need to add any left repositories. The official repository contains the php5 package (and derivatives). // approximate algoritm: 1. remove the “left” repositories. 2. Update the package list. 3. remove everything related to php. 4. install php5 - aleksandr barakin

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6

no need to add any "left" repositories.

After all, in the official repository there is a package php5 (and derivatives).

approximate algorithm:

  1. remove the “left” repositories (see files in /etc/apt/sources.d/ )
  2. update the package list ( sudo apt-get update )
  3. remove everything related to php ( sudo apt-get purge 'php.*' )
  4. Install the php5 package and necessary additional packages.
