PHP version for Mysql (phpmyadmin)

I'm trying to determine if/how I can upgrade the php version phpmyadmin (for mysql) is running?

I'm currently running easyapache 4 and multiple versions of php on the server with MultiPHP manager.

Is the version of php used for phpmyadmin tied to one particular account? There is a default account on the server that redirects to the machine name.

Or, is there a separate way to determine which version of PHP this interface runs?

Oh, and one bonus question: Am I likely to run into potential compatibility problems with phpmyadmin and php 7.2?

 

Thanks for the info.

So, I guess the question is: How do I update the version of php that is used in this case? Or are you suggesting that I have no control and it will stay at 5.6 until CPanel makes the change in their future versions?

 

Thanks Michael, I guess that makes sense.

There are two potential issues I'm trying to address.

The first, is simply that I've noticed some of the processes and queries in phpmyadmin take quite a bit longer to execute than they do when I call and output them directly through some of my custom php scripts running 7.2 or the command line. I assume at least part of the reason is that PHP 7.2 is seeing some boost in performance.

Second, and perhaps more importantly, I'm getting a lot of errors importing and exporting large files with phpmyadmin. Many of these I can fix with temporary adjustments to the tweak settings for php (such as max upload size, max execution time, etc), but I don't like having to keep track of 3 different versions of the php system settings now that I am running 7.0 or 7.2 on virtually all of my other accounts on the server.

It just adds some mental overhead I have to deal with.
