Updating from PHP 5.6 too 7.3

[hci]

How would I update from PHP 5.6.40 too 7.3.x? Is 7.3 standard on new installs?

7.3 or maybe 7.2 is standard, as far as I remember. PHP 7.4 is newly released and will likely take that spot once everything is ironed out.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set php1_release 7.3
./build php d

Assuming your php1_release is currently that of 5.6.40.

This should remove php 5.x and install 7.3? I have latest DA versions of roundcube and wordpress depending on php, this should not break anything?

Yes, it removes php 5.x and install 7.3. You can install few PHP versions, if you worry about compatibility, then just switch between them in domain management menu.
