antergos switch to php 7.0 from htaccess

Question

On Antergos I have installed php7.0 from AUR and want to use this inspite of the default php7.3 on a project in my userdir.

I added AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70 .php to my local .htaccess file, but phpinfo still shows php7.3 is used.

I ave this in my httpd.conf file

LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so
LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp70.so
AddHandler php7-script php
Include conf/extra/php7_module.conf

I am pretty sure I was missing something simple but can not find out what.

Try commenting out the first one using `#` before it. Then reload apache. — Jeremy Harris, Dec 22 '18 at 15:41
Also, does your vhost config allow the htaccess overrides? If not, either enable it or move the handler config to the vhost. — Jeremy Harris, Dec 22 '18 at 15:44
Overrides are set all. If I comment out the above I get php 7.0 running for all sites. Anyway I am ok with that for now. Thanks for the help. — rrd, Dec 22 '18 at 15:46

Only load one module at a time. To fix current issue, add comment to the first LoadModule declaration.

#LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so
LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp70.so
AddHandler php7-script php
Include conf/extra/php7_module.conf

I think running multiple versions can be done with some setup. Maybe this will help: Running two PHP versions on the same server
