Remove php 5.3 from my system

Previously I have both PHP 5.6 and PHP7 installed in my pc and switch between them every time I need for a web-app with:



sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php[version]


But I made the error to install 5.3 because I one app I wanted to test was running with that PHP.



But now, no matter what I do, everytime I run php -v I always get:



PHP 5.3.29 (cli)


I don't know where it's installed, I tried with locate php5.3 but I don't get anything (?) and with locate php5 I get all my installations from 5.6 and 7 that I want to activate.



Uninstalling php 5.3 in ubuntu 14.04



I tried with php --ini to get a clue where is located but then:



Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /usr/local/lib
Loaded Configuration File: (none)
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed: (none)
In /usr/local/lib there's nothing about php (?)



Any help with this?

  • try to find / -name *php*. This way you will be able to find all the PHP versions. For the future I would recommend to run stuff with update alternatives in a docker container/virtual machine.

For some reason it was only named as "php", so I couldn' track it down with the version number.



Then it was simply as



sudo apt-get purge php
