I am trying to revert my PHP version to 5.6 from 7 and though I removed PHP 7 and then installed PHP 5.6 I still seem to be running version 7.

Is there a simple method for moving through PHP versions where apache, phpMyAdmin and co are configured appropriately?

A simple way to change the current version of PHP on the fly and even site by site would be great.

I am currently trying to locate the correct php.ini file to edit it and restart apache so the changes will take place and I'm stumped.

I have found three different php.ini files (no idea why there are three) this is how I found the files

$ sudo find / -name php.ini
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/cgi/php.ini

I also did....

$ sudo php -i | grep 'Configuration File'
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

I changed all of them (just to be sure) to the settings I wanted.

I restarted apache using

sudo service apache2 restart

The results...

* Restarting web server apache2

I reloaded the page and it showed that the php.ini file was not updated.

I know this because I used

echo ini_get('post_max_size');

Which was supposed to be changed to 20M but was still only 2M

I tried rebooting my computer thinking maybe that would stop the apache server and reload the php.ini file with the correct setting, but alas that attempt also failed.

Is there any chance there could be another php.ini file that could be interfering?
