I am new user in Ubuntu , and I am not able to install PHP-5 via apt-get, since the stable version is PHP-7 , I get an error saying that no packages were found. I tried to use the following commands
sudo apt-get install php
sudo apt-get install php5
sudo apt-get install php5.6
But with no success at all.
Does anyone know how I can install?
After PHP has made the 7 version of PHP stable, it looks like the PHP PPA has changed and needs updating.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
Another important thing is that now it is necessary to specify which version of PHP you will install (whether it is 5.5, 5.6 or 7.0).
See:
sudo apt-get install php5.6 php5.6-common php5.6-mcrypt
