How to change PHP version for all domains in Plesk for Windows Server?

Connect to a Plesk server via RDP.
Start a command prompt as an Administrator.
Create a list with the names of all domains with hosting:

C:\> plesk db -Ne "select name from domains where htype='vrt_hst'" > C:\domains.txt
List all installed PHP handlers:

C:\> plesk bin php_handler --list
Run the following command:

Note: Replace <php_handler> with <id> of a PHP handler from step 4, which will be used by all domains:

C:\> for /f "tokens=*" %d in ('type C:\domains.txt') do plesk bin domain -u %d -php_handler_id <php_handler>

To change PHP version for all domains that use a specific PHP version, apply the following steps:

Create a list with the names of all domains that use a particular PHP version (in this example, PHP 5.6 FastCGI):

C:\> plesk db -sNe "select name from hosting hos,domains dom where dom.id = hos.dom_id and php = 'true' AND php_handler_id LIKE 'fastcgi-5.6'" > c:\domains.txt
Switch these domains to another PHP version (in this example, PHP 7.3 FastCGI):

C:\> for /f "tokens=*" %d in ('type C:\domains.txt') do plesk bin domain -u %d -php_handler_id fastcgi-7.3

For Linux use this

  plesk=/usr/sbin/plesk
  for d in $($plesk bin domain --list)
  do
    $plesk bin domain-u $d -php_handler_id <required_php_handler>
  done

where <required_php_handler> can be obtained by executing:

  $plesk bin php_handler --list
