Troubles with changing PHP Version

Website Building
#1

Hello everybody,
i wanted to install a online shop which needs php 5.5 instead of php 7.0.
so i changed in the settings the php version to 5.5 but unfortunately in the phpadmin i
still see the php version is 7.0.
what can i do that php version will be properly changed to the correct version?

Hi @rod071969

You can change it as following

  • Log into cPanel (www.000webhost.com/cpanel-login)
  • Select Your website
  • Go to settings
  • Select General
  • Find php version by scrolling
  • Click change php version and set it as you need.

yes thats what i did.
then i went into phpmyadmin to check and there …

Web server:
Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips
Database client version: libmysql - mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev - 20150407 - $Id: 241ae00989d1995ffcbbf63d579943635faf9972 $
PHP extension: mysqliDocumentation curlDocumentation mbstringDocumentation
PHP version: 7.0.8

do i need to restart something else? or does it take some hours to reflect the settings in the web server?

Create test.php in public_html directory and add following code

<?php
    echo phpversion(); 
?>

Then run it with your browser (yoursite.000webhostapp.com/test.php)
