How to install php 5.6 on Ubuntu 20.04 beta – Php versions

have recently installed 20.04 beta on my Laptop. I need to install php 5.6. I have googled a lot regarding it, but all are suggesting to install Via Ondrej Suri PPA. I have done that but it is giving error that ‘unable to locate package php5.6’. I have checked their repository and found that they have support for 19.10 version but not for 20.04.

I have tried to find other methods but unable to find any. I am a noob on linux.

Please suggest an alternate way. I badly need this.

    Docker is your friend.

    Alternatively you could use phpbrew.

    After some time it might be that someone releases pre-built packages for PHP 5.6 but apparently that’s not yet (and may never be, so don’t count on it).

    You need to configure repository on your system.

    sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

    Then update repo

    sudo apt update

    Once the update complete, you can install any version from 5.6 to 7.4

    sudo apt install -y php5.6

    Or

    sudo apt install -y php7.4
