  • What is your actual question? Are you trying to downgrade PHP? If so, why? Also, recent versions of Laravel *require* PHP 7 (for good reason, since all 5.x versions have reached end-of-life). – elixenide Jan 19 '19 at 18:53

    It usually only takes an hour or two to convert old code to new. Well spent time in my opinion – Andreas Jan 19 '19 at 19:04

    This is not about programming but system administration, rather a question for https://superuser.com/ or https://unix.stackexchange.com/ Or edit the question to "How to upgrade code from PHP5 to PHP7 – Pinke Helga Jan 19 '19 at 19:08
  • so it's all about spending more time in upgrading this app code from php5 to php7 – Ahmed Jan 19 '19 at 19:26

    All versions below 7.1 are unsupported. It's a potential security risk not to upgrade. – Pinke Helga Jan 19 '19 at 19:28
  • You might just be missing some required extensions. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34978828/uncaught-reflectionexception-class-log-does-not-exist-laravel-5-2 Try listing `php -m` on terminal console – Pinke Helga Jan 19 '19 at 19:34

If you really require a php version that old and still want to use an up to date os version (which you should!!)

you can try docker:

docker-compose.yml:

version: "3.5"

services:
   php: 
       image: php:5.6-apache
       ports:
          - 80:80
       volumes:
          - ./:/var/www/html

-> this will limit your one application to use that old php version
