How to setup cron with a different PHP version

Issue

Your script requires a PHP version other than the latest PHP version. Even after changing the PHP version with the PHP Version Selector your cron still runs with the native PHP version (typically the latest).

Solution

Replace /usr/bin/php with the appropriate PHP version below:

/opt/alt/php44/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php51/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php52/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php53/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php54/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php55/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php56/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php70/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php71/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php72/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php73/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php74/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php80/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php81/usr/bin/php
/opt/alt/php82/usr/bin/php
