How To: Manage Multiple PHP Versions for SiteWorx Accounts
==========================================================

The InterWorx Control Panel provides the ability to install more than one version of PHP using the
Multiple PHP tool. Server Administrators can then allow SiteWorx accounts access to specific PHP versions, 
so that those versions can then then be assigned to specific domains within SiteWorx. 

Information on installing multiple PHP versions can be found :doc:`here </nodeworx/webserver/php_options/enable-multiple-php-nodeworx-siteworx>`.

Documentation on how to set PHP versions for specific domains in SiteWorx can be found :doc:`here </siteworx/domains_and_websites/php/change-php-versions>`.

To Set the Default PHP Version for SiteWorx Accounts
----------------------------------------------------

The Default PHP Version is what will be pre-selected when creating new SiteWorx accounts.

This also controls the default value when using an API call to create a new SiteWorx Account.

.. note:: 

   Changing the default PHP version will only affect newly created SiteWorx accounts. The PHP version for existing
   accounts will not be changed.

To Enable Specific PHP Versions for a SiteWorx Account

access to. This can be achieved both when creating a new SiteWorx account, or when editing an existing 
one.

#. If creating a new SiteWorx account, click **+** or **Add SiteWorx Account**

   - If editing an existing SiteWorx account, click the **Pencil** next to the account. This opens
     the SiteWorx Account Management form

#. To select the Default PHP Version for the SiteWorx account (if different from the default set on 
   the Webserver page), select the **PHP version** from the PHP Versions dropdown
   under PHP Options
#. To select and PHP versions that the SiteWorx account should have the ability to use, other than the
   default, under Available PHP Versions, select the **checkbox** next to all PHP versions that
   apply

   - To select all versions, click **check all**
