[How To] Update from PHP v5.4.16 to v5.6.31 (Includes suhosin patch) [CentOS]

[betatester3.0]

Lets begin by logging into your panel using ssh, then enter the following commands:

Code:

//check current version
php -v
// install epel && update
yum install epel* && yumupdate
//Add CentOS 7 repo
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
//run it && update
sudo rpm -Uvh remi-release-7*.rpm && yum update
//update php to 5.6
yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php56 update

Now the above handles the installation of php5.6, although the following is the main part and is A MUST for Sentora Panel.

Rebuild Suhosin

Code:

cd /tmp
wget -nv -O suhosin.zip https://github.com/stefanesser/suhosin/archive/suhosin-0.9.37.zip
unzip -q suhosin.zip
cd suhosin-suhosin-0.9.37
phpize &> /dev/null
./configure &> /dev/null
make &> /dev/null
make install
// now reboot using
reboot
//after reboot do
php -v

You should get the following output:

I am using centos 6.10

however when i go to create a new mysql user i get error 500. 

Can you confirm this update instructions allow you to create a new mysql user?

WARNING:

If you use Wordpress, then Be aware that this version of Suhosin WILL BREAK some WordPress features (mainly a bug when adding new items to menu is the most known issue).
aka: you will not be able to add new items to the menu in Worpdress.

Solution:
Use suhosin 0.9.38 instead of version 0.9.37 used in this post. If you haven't followed the post then instead of following the "rebuild suhosin" part, follow these instructions instead. If you already followed the post, it's okay, you can still do the steps to upgrade your suhosin version.

PHP Code:

cd /tmp

wget -nv -O suhosin.tar.gz https://download.suhosin.org/suhosin-0.9.38.tar.gz --no-check-certificate

 tar -xf suhosin.tar.gz

cd suhosin-0.9.38

phpize &> /dev/null

./configure &> /dev/null

make &> /dev/null

sudo make install
# Now you're done, check your php version.
 php -v

# Now restart your server
reboot 


This has been tested on Centos 7. I have no idea how it might go for other operating systems (but in theory it should work).
