You can install two PHP versions. Then reference php5-fpm.sock instead of php7.0-fpm.sock in Nginx.

I want to be lame and use PHP 5.6. How?
I have a requirement to use PHP 5.6 because a module that's very important to my app does not yet support PHP 7.
I still want to utilize the niceties of Forge and Envoyer (Which I'm already using. Imagine my surprise when I built and deployed a new box and everything blew up on me.)
What's my best option to "Rip out" PHP 7 and put 5.6 back in so I can use my module?
Thank you,
Josh P.S. Amazon, Ubuntu, and otherwise default forge settings.

And to be clear, this would let me run one version of PHP for my workers and PHP 7 for my web app? Because that would be freaking fantastic. Do you have any documentation on the best way to accomplish this? I see a lot of apache stuff floating around, but I want to use NGINX

You would probably need to build PHP yourself unless your system lets you install 5.6 and 7.0 (is easier than installing two minor versions).
I don't have a link to any but this is going off my 6 years of playing around with Linux servers
