PHP  is a general-purpose, server-side interpreted programming language that is especially suited for web development. 

Your web application can be programmed with PHP or it can be built with a CMS, like WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, etc... there is a whole variety. In such a case, the version of the CMS you use will make you have to install a specific version of PHP.

What version of PHP to use

If you program in PHP

Depending on the PHP methods you use, you will have to have one version or another, or that, or adapt your programming to the version of PHP you intend to use.

If you use CMS

Below I add links where you can verify the compatibility of the versions of certain CMS's with the PHP versions:

PHP Versions

Our WHM/cPanel servers work with EasyApache 4 supporting PHP versions 5.4 to 5.6, PHP versions 7.0 to 7.4 and PHP 8.0 to 8.2.

If you see that the PHP version you need cannot be selected in the MultiPHP Administrator , please contact us, perhaps we can install it on the server where your website is hosted.

Change PHP Version

To change the PHP version, use the  MultiPHP Manager interface  at (cPanel » MultiPHP Manager).
