+===== Using alt-php Within MultiPHP Manager =====
-**alt-php is supported from LSWS 5.3RC1 directly from MultiPHP Manager**
+**As of LSWS v5.3RC1, you can use alt-php directly from MultiPHP Manager**
-In cPanel & WHM version 66 and later, EasyApache 4 allows you to use Vendor-provided PHP versions such as CloudLinux PHP selector right from MultiPHP Manager, such as ''alt-php44'', ''alt-php51'', ''alt-php52'', ''alt-php53'', ''alt-hpp54'', ''alt-php55'', ''alt-php56'', ''alt-php70'', ''alt-php71'', ''alt-php72'', they have been supported by LiteSpeed from 5.3RC1. LSWS 5.2.x and below do not support them and if you are still using such LSWS legacy version,  please continue to use ''ea-phpxx'' only and follow the above steps to determine if CloudLinux PHP selector is used,  but not directly from MultiPHP Manager.

-Using cpanel MultiPHP manager is recommended way since it is easy to understand and supports both ea-php and alt-php.  CloudLinux PHP selector sometime might be a little complicated to understand, hence not recommended. Advanced user can use either one as you prefer, as far as you understand how CloudLinux PHP selector with WHM/cPanel MultiPHP Manager.

+Using cPanel MultiPHP Manager is the recommended method, since it is easy to understand and supports both ''ea-php'' and ''alt-php''.  CloudLinux PHP selector sometimes might be a little complicated to understand, hence it is not recommended. An advanced user can choose either one as preferred, as long as it is understood how CloudLinux PHP selector works together with WHM/cPanel MultiPHP Manager. The following section **Why CloudLinux PHP Selector Works on Apache but Does Not Work on LSWS** provides a good example of how complicated it can be to try enforcing everything to ''alt-php'' while using CloudLinux PHP Selector. Unless you understand it well, we don't recommend you go through such a complicated path for such little benefit. MultiPHP Manager could simply make your life easier.

 ===== Why CloudLinux PHP Selector Works on Apache but Does Not Work on LSWS =====
 In a cPanel EA4 and CloudLinux environment, Most of the LSWS LSPHP external apps such as ''lsphpxx'' are pointing to ''ea-phpxx'', instead of ''alt-phpxx''. Only one external app, ''cl_phpselector'' is pointing to ''/usr/local/bin/lsphp'' (the CloudLinux PHP selector binary).
