Update default PHP version

The version of PHP that you wish to set as the system's default.

Important:

We deprecated PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.0 in cPanel & WHM version 84. We will remove them in a future version. For more information, read our cPanel Deprecation Plan documentation.
When you disable the Web Server role, the system disables this function.

Note:

This document only applies to systems that run EasyApache 4.
