Change the PHP Version for Subfolders or Subdomains

Access the folder to which you would like to apply a different PHP version. If you want to edit a domain, access its public_html folder. For a subdomain, the corresponding folder will be inside the domain's public_html folder:

For a specific folder, go to the desired folder's path. Once in the correct location, open the .htaccess file by double-clicking on it.

If the file doesn't exist, you can create it directly in the File Manager. Make sure to include a dot (.) at the beginning of the filename!

Step 2 - Edit the .htaccess File

Add the following code to your .htaccess file (at the very beginning of it):

<FilesMatch "\.(php4|php5|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
SetHandler application/x-lsphp71
</FilesMatch>

The second line will define the PHP version for the folder. All you need to do is change application/x-lsphp71 code for the version that you would like to use. Check this table for the possible values:
