Hello,
right now i have last version of PHP + 5.6 version
How would i go about to downgrade this 5.6 to 5.3?
The reason is PHP 5.3 uses mysql_connect while newer versions use mysqli_connect....
I need only for coupple of users who have some old PHP websites..... And NO updating websites is not a posability
Any help highly apreciate it!
 
PHP lower than 5.6,
maybe openssl 1.1.1 doesn't support

if your OS have old openssl like 1.0.X, it possible to do
 
Also note that older PHP versions have unpatched security threats.

Just my 2 cents, I always recommend it to people who want to use versions that are EOL is to use CloudLinux: https://www.cloudlinux.com/features/#hardened-php

They keep updating the old versions and it's easy to select a version.

Of course this means using a different OS and paying for the license, but as far as I know it's the only solid way to go around this.
