Add the ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6

Then install python-software-properties first to avoid some errors that might occur

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Then install php

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install php5

To switch to different php versions,assuming you are using both php5.6 and php7.0

Using apache you can do

sudo a2dismod php5.6  ##To use php5.6
sudo a2enmod php7.0   ##To use php7.0
sudo service apache2 restart
