How to change php version to xampp in ubuntu?

Question

PHP

I installed ksamp on LAN to install the site on MODX Evo, after I put the site on a local web server - errors flew. On hosting, the site runs on php version 5.3.17.
I downloaded the package with php version 5.3.17 - how to install xs - I googled, I came across some hellish articles with instructions for hacking xamp.
Tell me how to change the version?

Put OpenServer on Windows, there is a choice of versions.

Answer 3

I support stunoff to put everything by hand. Time takes 10 minutes.
I installed according to this manual.

Answer 4

The problem with any *AMP builds is that a person gets used to not "holding" the configuration. Well, some more assemblies sin by changing the location of the configuration files.
Now you seem to have already found a solution, but in general you need to take it, spend a day and learn how to install everything yourself, then there will be no problem changing the version.
Ideally, you should spend another day and learn how to work with docker, because. There are many projects, but there is only one OS, and constantly changing software versions on it is not very convenient.
