Updating Concrete5
Permalink
I am running an old version of Concrete5 and my php is out of scope.
By updating the CMS will this automatically update the php?
Many Thanks

The released c5.6 branch of c5, including c5.6.2, can run on any php version before php7, such as php5.6.32.
(Any correlation of c5 version number and php version number is purely coincidence and does not signify anything)
Updating c5 will not change the php version, the php version is a server setting you will need to sort out with your host.
You should be able to update to c5.6.3.5
If you wanted to update to php7, there is a branch of the 5.6 core on github that will run on php7, but beware because addons may not. For example, eCommerce will not run cleanly under php7. At the moment, I would not recommend php7 for a 5.6 site unless you are a developer with time to sort out any issues that crop up.
