if you want to switch between 7 and 5 you'll need something like the following to make sure all the libs are in sync

rm /usr/lib/php
ln -fs /usr/lib/php5 /usr/lib/php
rm /etc/php
ln -fs /etc/php5 /etc/php
rm /usr/bin/php
ln -fs /usr/bin/php5 /usr/bin/php
rm /usr/share/php
ln -fs /usr/share/php5 /usr/share/php
a2dismod php7.0
a2enmod php5
service apache2 reload
