PHP-FPM Using CentminMod How to test out php 5.6?

Unfortunately, that won't work for PHP 5.6 betas as they are downloaded from a separate dev download url from official PHP 5.3/5.4/5.5 versions. I'm waiting for PHP 5.6 GA stable release first which should be using same download url format as current PHP versions. At which then changing PHP version and/or specifying version in menu option #5 for php upgrade should work (provided no bugs)

 

Yeah it's always a waiting game

not yet as 5.7 is in alpha and doesn't fully support all PHP extensions yet https://wiki.php.net/phpng
