Hey people, i managed to install the wrong version of PHP and now my applications aren't working as normal. (for the noobs on the forum, i don't wanna scare them; when I say applications i mean server-side ones like vBulletin)

So, my question would be, How do one downgrade PHP to another version? I try to re-install but it won't have any off it. I guess I'll need to remove the current version first. Anyone know how?

Thanks...

Take this 'advice' as you will. I'm not responsible for hosing your system.

I would start by opening the terminal and typing in 'locate php'

/usr/bin/php
/usr/bin/php-config
/usr/bin/phpextdist
/usr/bin/phpize
/usr/include/php
/usr/lib/php
/usr/local/php


I would then start by deleting the php folders in the directories listed (the above is from my system, yours might be different).

Then reinstall php.

I'm sure that there is an easier way but thats all I can come up with on short notice.

good luck
