Resolved Any risk involved with changing PHP CLI?

Hi PHPBandit,

After doing it, php -v showed updated version of 5.6
You seem to misunderstand something here. You still have the very same serverwide PHP - version installed on your server and nothing has been "updated". The script just symlinks the executables "/usr/bin/php" and "/usr/bin/php-cgi" to the Plesk - PHP - version, located at "/opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/".

Is that okay?
It would be o.k. for Plesk, when you would update your php_handler for Plesk and when you change as well the corresposping serverwide "php-config".

Does Plesk or server rely on 5.4?
Plesk doesn't, but you will experience issues with your installed software on your server, when it comes to dependencies. ;)

Is it bad to change it?
Is is rather "bad" and by far not good... it's purely nonsense. I can't see any reason, why someone would do that.
