Introduction:
PHP Selector offers similar functionalities to cPanel's native MultiPHP Manager for Cloudlinux environments and can be used in conjunction with MutliPHP Manager.
PHP Selector sits on top of CageFS, and allows the end-user to select different PHP versions as well as PHP modules that a user wants to use. It also requires the installation of LVE Manager.
PHP Selector is compatible with CGI, suPHP & mod_fcgid and incompatible with DSP/mod_php, mod_ruid2, MPM ITK, and PHP-FPM.
Naturally, when trying to install PHP Selector you must have all this information in mind.
