I tried several ways to upgrade PHP on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine from 5.5.9 to 5.6. It was not easy, at least it worked like described on http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/prereq/php-ubuntu.html.
Typing php -v shows
codePHP 5.6.25-2+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 (cli)

Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright © 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright © 1999-2016, by Zend Technologiescode
looks good so far…
But phpinfo still shows
codePHP Version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.19code
How can I enforce apache to use PHP 5.6??

In my case i needed to work with php 7.0 and the following worked:
sudo a2dismod php5; sudo a2enmod php7.0; sudo service apache2 restart;
Hope this helps !
Hey
Don’t know if you guys already resolved the problem, but here is how i did:
sudo a2dismod php5 sudo a2enmod php5.6 sudo service apache2 restart
