I'm using CentOs and I need to install PHP version 5.6 on my server. I see the available PHP versions now are (7.1, 7.2 and 7.3) only. Any advice?

  Hello @ImperialTrader, PHP version 5.6 was removed from the default EasyApache 4 profiles because it reached end-of-life status (PHP no longer publishes security updates for version 5.6). I recommend updating any PHP scripts that lack compatibility with newer PHP versions at your earliest convenience. If you plan to upgrade your scripts to work with a supported PHP version but need to use PHP 5.6 temporarily, execute the following command as root to install PHP version 5.6: yum install ea-php56
  When you're ready to remove it, execute the following command as root: yum remove ea-php56
  Thank you.

  Almalinux 8/Centos 8, php 7.2 and higher versions are supported. You must use cloudlinux to use lower php versions.

  I found installing imunify360 solo on Almalinux and enabling hardend PHP installed the backdated PHP versions.
