> php -v tells me 5.5.28 is active. yum tells me that remi 54, 55 and 56 are all installed

Please explain this ? (rpm -qa php\*)

Disable the "remi-php55" repo and yum downgrade php\*
Or yum history undo can also work.

since I put remi php55 on my vps i have been having weird stuff going on with ioncube loaders. saying that various scripts/software that i use needs uptodate ioncube loaders when ioncube loaders are already uptodate on my system.

I just want to go back to remi-php54 - everything worked fine then.

when i do "yum downgrade php\*" i get loads of errors, so "yum downgrade php\* --skip-broken" runs ok but tells me its going downgrade me to php5.3.3 so i hit N as don't want php5.3.

I want to get back to remi-php54

Apologies for not being being a specialist on this - any further help is much appreciated

Should i go back to 5.3.3 and then install remi-php54 again - Im worried that i'll have more issues. one thing leads to another

whats best to do i am trying to work out.

thank you

Sorry i just edited the post as you replied.

so why does php -v give me 5.5.28

thank you

Hi, thanks.

Ok sorry. I understand the what the SCL is now.

I have this in my "File: /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo"

...and other debug stuff. too much to paste in

I just enabled php56 repo as you see there above, and just updated php to 5.6

I don't have the php54 section in the my remi.repo - how can add it. whats the command. when i try copying the section and changing the urls it doesnt work out.

Even on php 56 and I'm still getting annoyance from ioncube loader with all sorts of stuff i use.

""blahblahblah.php cannot be decoded\nby this version of the ionCube Loader.\n If you are the administrator of this site\nthen please install the latest version of the ionCube Loader.\n in Unknown on line 0""

I get that on php 55 and 56

Driving me round the bend as it not just one piece of software its many. So its not the script, its my server config. and ioncube is uptodate and the proper .so is added in my php.ini

and all the scripts in question are designed for php54 - 56 - they should work on all versions

thank you

Ah i see.

With remi enabled, yum downgrade php\* - gives a lots of errors, too many to paste.

with remi enabled, yum install php - tells me php5.4.45 is installed.

php -v tells me that currently 5.6.13 is installed since i just installed it with [remi-php56] repo enabled.

I will ask ioncube about the error.

It appears i have php 5.4.45 and 5.6.13 installed

Sorry i paste in the wrong round, going in circles here.

With remi disabled and remi-php56 enabled in remi.repo -
"yum install php" tells me:
Package php-5.6.13-1.el6.remi.x86_64 already installed and latest version

With remi enabled and remi-php56 disabled in remi.repo -
"yum install php" tells me:

Thanks for your help. I have noted your last message there.

But after weeks of annoyance with ioncube, its just this minute decided to work with php56! No more errors!

Maybe there was some config error(my fault) when 5.5.28 was installed.

I will stay on php56.

Sorry to have done your head in. Thanks for your help.
