OT, but: why don't you just compile up an old php version from source on a new OS? It's a bit of a hassle the first time you do it, sure, but less than the hassle of running multiple legacy OS?
The legacy OS is even less hassle, because it never gets any updates and just sits there.
If you compile old software on a new OS, every single update to that OS has a chance to blow up your compiled old version, so it takes more hand-holding.
Can be worth it at times, but other times it's just easier to firewall and hope for the best.
