Multiple PHP versions in the cPanel server

The PHP version on the servers will be the most tested out or proven one. But some clients may want a newer version and make use of the various upcoming features. Due to the various compatibility issues,  we can't perform a server wide PHP version change. In such cases, we need to install the newer version with the existing one and enable the client to switch to the newer one by changing the Handler.

Scenario

The client is hosted on a server with php 5.3.24 and he want to enable  5.4.14 for his domain.  There are  various blogs about running different major version of PHP on the server ie php 5 and php 4. But enabling different minor versions of same major version is a tricky one.

Recompile and install the default PHP (Optional)

If the existing installation is fine and has the necessary modules , then you can skip this step. Otherwise you need to recompile it using

/scripts/easyapache

Once it is done. You can proceed with the new PHP 5.4.14
