You will have lot of problems when your local development PHP
version might be different then that of production PHP
version, this might further cause some issues when you run composer
commands.
Not only this if you need to upgrade your PHP
frameworks like LARAVEL
, SYMFONY
you have to install newer version of PHP
. You might also upgrade because fo security patches. So in this tutorial I will teach you how to install multiple PHP
versions and how to switch to different PHP
version as per your requirements.
First login to your server and update the Ubuntu/Linux packages with the following command
sudo apt-get update
You can check if you had earlier installed PHP
by using the following command. It will list the PHP
version installed
sudo php -v
You might need to install additional packages like PPA
, if your operating system has not yet released the PHP version your looking out for then 3rd party PPA Ondrej
will help to download the latest one.
