It is possible to have two different versions of PHP co-installed, but it is probably not worth the pain if you have other options. I would suggest using separate Droplets if you have two applications that require different versions of PHP. That said, there are some tools for working with multiple PHP versions. PHPBrew is probably the easiest and most used. It’s particularly useful for a development environment where you need to switch between versions.
