I just installed NOOBS onto the SD card but I have just messed it up, it wasn't right for me anyway since I needed php5, and the latest NOOBS comes with php7. How can I install NOOBS so that I can install php5?

1PHP5 is only receiving security updates. Why do you need php7 and why won't the newer version work?– Steve RobillardDec 15, 2017 at 0:04

@SteveRobillard I am currently at Uni and the Pis are part of a project. We are required to use Php5 and not any other version.– 15150776Dec 15, 2017 at 0:09

Tell your professor that PHP5 is quickly going the way of the dodo and PHP7 is what industry will be expecting you to know...– RubberStampDec 15, 2017 at 0:43

If you really need php5, add the jessie to your /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo -s
# echo "deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
and then
# apt-get update && apt-get install php5
However, you should be advised that php5 is old news.

NOOBS will only install the latest Raspbian, if you need an obsolete version you will need to install Raspbian, which you can find on https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/
You might get away with an old NOOBS from https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/NOOBS/archive/
Mind you PHP7 has been the standard release on most distributions for 2 years; it is only Debian which has not changed until recently.
