Kindly note that you can change the Php version of your application from this section but if your desired Php version is installed but not available in the list, it means that this application version does not support the installed Php version.

You can also select different Php versions at the time of application installation in an existing server. If the new application supports the installed Php version, the system will automatically select the installed Php version.
