You could use remi repository. Try with these commands:

#!/bin/bash
yum -y update
sudo yum -y install amazon-linux-extras
sudo yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum -y install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
sudo yum -y install yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi-php56 
sudo yum -y install php56-gd php56-curl php56-mysql php56-ldap php56-zip php56-fileinfo php56-php-pecl-zip
sudo scl enable php56 bash

You can find a complete guide in this link https://www.tecmint.com/install-php-5-6-on-centos-7/

You can have multiple versions of PHP running on Linux.

$ sudo apt install php5.6 
$ sudo apt install php7.0 
$ sudo apt install php7.1

Use the update-alternative command to switch and set the default version of PHP you want to run:

sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php5.6

Then confirm:

php -v
