I need to conduct some testing on older version of PHP, and I want to use my laptop running Debian Jessie.

At the moment, I've got PHP5.6 installed on it, which I tried to delete with apt-get remove php5 && apt-get autoremove, but for some reason I am still getting PHP version when I type php -v in the shell.

I thought about trying DotDeb (which I use for PHP7 on my production server), but these repos seem to be for Wheezy, not Jessie.

Anyways, I'd like to be able to install PHP 5.5, and use its built in web server.

How do I achieve that?

Thank you
