Do you want both PHP 5.5 and 5.6 installed at the same time? That isn't clear from your question.Faheem Mitha– Faheem Mitha2016-03-26 16:59:06 +00:00Commented Mar 26, 2016 at 16:59

@FaheemMitha I'd prefer not, but it's not mandatory.onin– onin2016-03-26 17:08:45 +00:00Commented Mar 26, 2016 at 17:08

"I'd prefer not". I'm going to interpret that as - you don't want both versions installed at the same time. Downgrading 5.6 to 5.5 is probably not a difficult thing intrinsically. You could take your selection from snapshot.debian.org/package/php5. You'd have to rebuild your chosen version on jessie. But I'm curious why 5.5 works for you and 5.6 doesn't. What are you trying to do? Of course, bear in mind that none of those versions are supported, and might have security holes or whatever. It looks like 5.5 was never in a stable release of Debian, so you can't get it from there.Faheem Mitha– Faheem Mitha2016-03-26 17:25:58 +00:00Commented Mar 26, 2016 at 17:25

It sounds like you want to do compatibility testing of some (your own?) php scripts with particular versions of php? if so, why not run wheezy in a VM and install php 5.5 on that, so you don't have to mess up your jessie laptop with old versions? making test environments is one of the great uses of virtual machines.cas– cas2016-03-26 23:06:10 +00:00Commented Mar 26, 2016 at 23:06

@cas You're absolutely right. I want to test my own PHP scripts before I release them on Codecanyon. I've tested on PHP7 which I have on my AWS EC 2 and PHP5.6 which I have on my shared hosting account. I am supporting PHP5.5, so I needed to test on that version too, and I ended up simply installing that version on my Windows OS, and I'm gonna do the same for 5.4 and 5.3.onin– onin2016-03-27 08:09:57 +00:00Commented Mar 27, 2016 at 8:09

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
