How can I setup PHP5 and PHP7 on one Fedora system?
As I see, PHP in fedora is not one directory, it's spread in OS.
On Windows systems, PHP is one folder, so I can just rename it when I need a specific version of PHP. What about Fedora?
Maybe there are some useful links but I haven't found them.
Also, it will be php5+apache(httpd) and php7+nginx, but I don't think it matters for now.

Together, you can use Apache and PHP-FPM to host multiple PHP web-applications, each using a different version of PHP, all on the same server, and all at the same time.
To run two or more PHP versions for different sites on the same LAMP stack by using mod_fcgid to create a . fcgi wrapper script. The script forwards all the PHP requests which were made from php-cgi binary. Considering a server running on PHP 7.2 where a specific site requires an older PHP version (eg PHP 5.6).
PHP 5 or PHP 7 Since January 1, 2019, PHP 5 is no longer supported with security fixes, starting on 1 January.
I suggest you to install remi repository. I assume you use fedora 23.
sudo dnf install http://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-23.rpm
After installing remi repository, you have to edit /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo file and enable it.
Finally you can install various versions of php. for example:
sudo dnf install php70-php php56-php
You can use them as php70 and php56 along with option or php file you want to run.

Following directions in Remi RPM repo blog worked for me. I can now run php55 or php70. https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2016/04/16/My-PHP-Workstation
Few things that it took to switch to php55:
module unload php70
module load php55
yum install php55-php-fpm
systemctl start php55-php-fpm
systemctl enable php55-php-fpm
now both php --version in command line shows PHP 5.5 and also in your browser you will see that phpinfo() shows PHP 5.5.
