Is it possible for me to download an older version of Mautic since I’m not currently able to get anywhere above a 5.6 PHP version? I’m anxious to dive into this software!
Please advise. Thanks!

Hey, I have a similar issue, moving from PHP 4.2 to PHP 7 breaks some of my websites, is there a way to override PHP version settings for a specific folder on the server i.e. for the Mautic installation it would be 7.0 and for the rest would be default 4.2?

@MxyzptlkFishStix Hey yep it’s a typo, sorry it was 5.2
I found that using a php ini file for PHP 5.6 and adding a line of code in .htaccess like this:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php
would sove my problem
I am on Hostgator and they have all the versions from 5.2 to 7.0
Mautic seems to be working fine on 7.0 but then some of my WordPress blogs/templates are old and they “prefer” 5.2 version of PHP, this was the easiest way to put a different version of php for my Mautic folder
