OT, but: why don't you just compile up an old php version from source on a new OS? It's a bit of a hassle the first time you do it, sure, but less than the hassle of running multiple legacy OS?
- bombcar 4y agoThe legacy OS is even less hassle, because it never gets any updates and just sits there. If you compile old software on a new OS, every single update to that OS has a chance to blow up your compiled old version, so it takes more hand-holding. Can be worth it at times, but other times it's just easier to firewall and hope for the best.
