Not able to re-install php again on ubuntu - php

I want to update php version from 7.0 to 7.1 so i tried update php commands to update php version on ubuntu system.
But its not updated, so i removed php 7.0 version using purge command
sudo apt-get purge 'php*'
These are the commands i tried for update php7.1 version after uninstall php7.0
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.1 php7.1-common
Getting error in command prompt as
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package php7.1
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php7.1'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.1'
E: Unable to locate package php7.1-common
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php7.1-common'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.1-common'
What im missing or did any thing wrong here?

It seems like php7.1 and php7.1-common packages are not available in your apt's sources.
I am assuming you are using the latest Ubuntu 18 LTS.
You could install php7.2 from the repositories, however older versions are not included anymore. You would have to install them manually.
For Version 7.2
sudo apt update
sudo apt install php7.2 php7.2-common
php -v
For Version 7.1
Download php
Extract the downloaded archive
Follow the included readme file
other options
If you are developing with different versions of PHP you might want to look into PHP docker containers
PHPDocker.io can be a good starting point.
EDIT: Also maybe consider posting this question on askubuntu instead, they might have more specific knowledge there.

You need to remove the old version before adding the new one.
Try: sudo apt-get remove php7.0*
Also it is useful to list all php packages to check if you are installing all you need.
sudo apt-get list php*
Then it is safe to run your commands.

Unable to install PHP 7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 even with Ondrej PPA repository in apache2

I am trying to install PHP 7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 for Apache2 server. To install the 7.4 version, I used PPA ondrej repository as follows:
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y php7.4

I tried all the solutions mentioned in answer to this question:
Unable to install PHP 7.3 on Ubuntu 20.04
None of them helped. How can I install this package?
You can archive this by adding this 3rd party repository to your system:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jczaplicki/xenial-php74-temp
sudo apt-get update
CAUTION:
This is adding an external PPA repository to your system. If you do not trust the maintainer you should not do this, since it possibly exposes your system. Also note that this might work for installing php, but there will not be a guarantee that you recvive updates through it (The word "temp" in the repository name indicates that this is only temporary). I would rather recommend compiling it yourself if you really need to have it installed on 16.04.
As a "Long-Term Solution" you really should update your system.
Your OS Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) is too old.
Ondrej PPA only supports the following operating systems (as of 10 June 2021):
Hirsute (21.04), Groovy (20.10), Focal (20.04), Bionic (18.04)
Which is why there is no package found.
I ran into this recently. Luckily, I found a repo containing archives of the original Ondrej PPA. You will be able to install php7.4 and extensions.
However, I'd be careful with any archives as they can have a security risk.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomvlk/php-archive
sudo apt-get update
Here are installation instructions for ZendPHP repository - https://help.zend.com/zendphp/current/content/installation/installation.htm

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Trying to Install libzip4 does not work either.

Package libzip4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

E: Package 'libzip4' has no installation candidate
Can somebody please try to help. Google does not help with unfortunately either.

Use the official repository:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt update
then:
sudo apt install php7.1-zip
A temporary solution is to just download the package file from trusted source like:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libzip4
Afterwards, install it with
dpkg -i libzip4_1.0.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
And the php7.1-zip will install gracefully.
Please try with the following:
if you are using 64-bit then do:
sudo apt-get purge libzip4
then:
sudo apt-get install php7.1-zip
if you are using 32-bit system then:
sudo apt-get install php7.1-zip:i386

Debian - Unable to locate package php7.0

I'm now using PHP 5.4 on my Debian 7 Wheezy server. For the newest Laravel version I have to update to PHP 7.0.
So I followed a small tutorial on how to update my PHP version. I have to use a PPA because the PHP7.0 isn't officialy released yet.
I did the following steps:
Adding the PPA
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
Updating all the packages:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Installing the package
apt-get install php7.0
But now I get the following error:
Unable to locate package php7.0
Couldn't find any package by regex: 'php7.0'
I have no idea what goes wrong and I've spend some hours trying solutions I found on internet but nothing works.
Does someone know a solution or an alternative to install PHP 7 on Debian?
This is a ppa for Ubuntu, therefore it may be not be compatitble with Debian as these packages are built for specific Ubuntu's version.
You can view list of available packages inside this ppa herE
https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php
As you can see, there's no php7.0 package build for debian, it's just Ubuntu.

All code is correct however we need to attention to Kernel release end of life it is so important !
