Usage: $0 <php_from> <php_to> [--dryrun|-d] [--verbose|-v]
Change all users with PHP version set to <php_from> to <php_to>.
Arguments:
  <php_to>      The PHP version to change to (e.g. ea-php74)
  <php_from>    The PHP version to change from (e.g. ea-php73)
Options:
  --dryrun, -d  Show what would be changed, but do not make any changes.
  --verbose, -v Show detailed output of the changes being made.

Note:
    This *will* restart the webserver.
    This *will* restart any PHP-FPM services that are affected by the change.

**IMPORTANT NOTE**
If php_from is the system default, the system default will be changed to php_to.

Example:
    $0 ea-php73 ea-php74 --verbose

=head1 NAME

scripts::mass_change_php_setting - Change PHP versions for multiple domains

=head1 SYNOPSIS

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/mass_change_php_setting <php_from> <php_to> [options]

# Change all domains from PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.2
    /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/mass_change_php_setting ea-php74 ea-php82

# Preview changes without applying them
    /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/mass_change_php_setting ea-php74 ea-php82 --dryrun

# Change with verbose output
    /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/mass_change_php_setting ea-php74 ea-php82 --verbose

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script allows administrators to migrate all domains using one PHP version
to another PHP version. It is useful when deprecating an older PHP version or
upgrading multiple accounts at once.

The script performs the following actions:

=over 4

=item 1. Validates that both PHP versions are installed on the system

=item 2. Stops the web server to ensure clean configuration changes

=item 3. Updates the system default PHP version if it matches the 'from' version

=item 4. Changes the PHP version for all domains currently using the 'from' version

=item 5. Rebuilds PHP-FPM configurations

=item 6. Restarts the web server

=back

Domains that inherit the system default PHP version are automatically updated
when the system default changes; they are not modified individually.

=head1 ARGUMENTS

=over 4

=item B<php_from>

The PHP version to change from (e.g., C<ea-php74>, C<ea-php81>). This version
must be installed on the system.

=item B<php_to>

The PHP version to change to (e.g., C<ea-php82>, C<ea-php83>). This version
must be installed on the system.

=back

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<--dryrun>, B<-d>

Show what changes would be made without actually applying them. This option
implies C<--verbose>.

=item B<--verbose>, B<-v>

Display detailed output showing each domain being changed and the progress
of the operation.

=item B<--help>, B<-h>

Display usage information and exit.

=back

=head1 EXIT STATUS

Returns 0 on success or when displaying help, and 1 on error.

=head1 WARNINGS

=over 4

=item *

This script B<will restart the web server>. Plan accordingly for brief
downtime during the migration.

=item *

This script B<will restart PHP-FPM services> affected by the change.

=item *

If the 'from' version is the system default, the system default B<will be
changed> to the 'to' version.

=back
