# How to Use MultiPHP in WHM to Change your Server’s PHP Version

One of cPanel’s newer features is the MultiPHP Manager. The MultiPHP Manager allows you to change the PHP version your websites are using. From WHM you can change the PHP version for your entire server. This is useful if all your websites need a version of PHP that your server is not currently set to. Now we’ll show you how to do so.

Note that you will need [root access](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/amp/obtain-root-access/) in order to use these directions.
