I am in the process of moving various apps and data off a CentOS 6 server to a new server running CentOS 7. As part of the migration process I need to upgrade an app and corresponding data files which requires php 5.6. I do have php 5.5 (and 5.4) installed since earlier but now tried to install php 5.6 from SCL which failed.
This is the package I tried:
https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/rh-php56/
but the error message is that there is no package 5.6. Is this correct and what would the recommended procedure then be since I do need 5.6 for this. Use Remi's collection or something else? I was hoping SCL would have it since it is well-tried and easy to sandbox on the computer.
Thank you.

PHP 5.6 is EOL. https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
Why would a project like SCL spend any efford on patching that old PHP release? Everyone using PHP is happy to get a current release. If your application insists on using 5.6 then move on and look for a different application.

That was not helpful. I gave the rationale in my e-mail message.
