Installing PHP5

yo all
how "safe" is it to install PHP5 in cPanel's apache update?...safe at all to just click it instead of v 4.4.3 and rebuild? ive heard that its notgood, but then in that case, why would cPanel put it as an option?
thanks for your response!

 

ahh guys, i figured it out, had a friend teach me!
just so 'yall know, heres some instructions for anyone in need:

in ssh, on linux, do: /scripts/easyphp
select option 6 when you come to a menu.
go to the php option once your in the main setup.
un-check your current ver, looks like: (*) 4.4.4, so select that, and hit enter.
the * should be gone,
now select the version you would like, and the start should appear.
then hit exit, then exit again, and yes to saving, and it'll start building!

note: it takes a 'lil while to build (about 30 - 45 min)

thanks!
