Setup Multiple PHP

This document provides the procedure to install and set up multiple php versions on your eenos hosting control panel. Eenos builds and maintains different php versions.

The EOL php versions provided by eenos are packed with security backup ported patch fixes. We will keep those versions as long as the patches are available. 

We recommend using your PHP versions that are actively developed and maintained by the PHP development team.
