You can find detailed instructions how to manually change the PHP version for your account below:

Go to cPanel, File Manager and choose "Web Root (public_html/www)". There create a new file (or edit the existing one) called .htaccess and add the following line:

To switch to PHP 4.4:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php4 .php .php4 .php3

 To switch to PHP 5.0:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

To switch to PHP 5.1:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php51 .php .php5 .php4 .php3
To switch to PHP 5.2:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

 To switch to PHP 5.3:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

 To switch to PHP 6.0:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php6 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

 To switch to the secure PHP 5.2 with Suhosin patch:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52s .php .php5 .php4 .php3

 
This setting will apply recursively to all of the sub directories. In case you had like to have a different version of PHP in a sub directory, create a new .htaccess file in it with the directive for the desired PHP version in it.

How to change the value of a PHP setting?

There are two ways to change the value of a PHP setting: through the SiteGround' PHP Variables Manager or by manually creating a local php.ini file and uploading it in the chosen folders.

 

   1. Change the value of a PHP setting through the SiteGround' PHP Variables Manager:

You can apply changes to the PHP values using our tool in cPanel. The tool can be found under:

cPanel -> PHP Variables Manager

Once you go to the specified section you can write the variable which you wish to change and press the Add button. The variable will appear below and you can choose to enable (green tick) or disable it (red cross).

After you make the necessary changes press the Save button and the changes will be saved.
