I tried many times to update PHP from 5.5 to 7 on CentOS 7 but always unsuccessful. The installation seems always going well but when I checked php-v it is always:
PHP 5.5.7 (cli) (built: Jul 5 2017 12:03:23)
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies
with Zend Guard Loader v3.3, Copyright (c) 1998-2014, by Zend Technologies
Any idea how can I update?
Base repository of CentOS has no php7 packages.
You can use remi repo to install php7 on your CentOS 7.
Why Remi?
PHP package installed from remi repo will work as drop-in replacement for your current php5 binaries.
Remi repo is managed by one of PHP internals
Why not?
To install the Remi repository, we need to enable the EPEL repository first.
sudo yum install epel-release yum-utils
sudo yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
Then Enable php 7.0 (You can use php 7.1+ too)
sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi-php70
Now it's time to install php7
yum install php php-common php-cli php-mysql
Great!!!
Now you have php7 on your system. You can confirm with :
php -v

I have Centos 7 and Virtualmin installed, with the tipycal php-fpm 5.4, 7.0, 7.1 that you can choice between the versions you prefer on every virtualhost via Virtualmin control panel, and everything works well.
But when I access to the server via SSH and check php -v I get this:
PHP 5.4.16 (cli) (built: Oct 30 2018 19:30:51)

How can I select another php default/base version for the shell system?
When you issue the php command on the shell it uses the default php version on the server which in your case is php-5.4.16
To use another php version, you have to check where the binaries for those php versions are and invoke them with their full path rather than just typing php.
For example, on CentOS, for PHP 7.2 for example, the full path of the php binary is: /opt/rh/rh-php72/root/usr/bin/php
root#virtualmin /root
» /opt/rh/rh-php72/root/usr/bin/php -v

Install versions of PHP in centos 7
Setup Yum Repository
First of all, you need to enable Remi and EPEL yum repositories on your system. Use the following command to install EPEL repository on your CentOS and Red Hat 7/6 systems
Use this command to install EPEL yum repository on your system
sudo yum install epel-release
and now execute one of the following commands as per your operating system version to install the Remi repository.
sudo rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
Install PHP 7 on CentOS
Your system is prepared for the PHP installation from yum repositories. Use one of the following commands to install PHP 7.4 or PHP 7.3 or PHP 7.2 or PHP 7.1 on your system based on your requirements.
Install PHP 7.4
yum --enablerepo=remi-php74 install php
Install PHP 7.3
yum --enablerepo=remi-php73 install php
Install PHP 7.2
yum --enablerepo=remi-php72 install php
.
Check version PHP install
php -v
.

Install PHP Modules
You may also need to install additional PHP modules based on your application requirements. The below command will install some more useful PHP modules.
For PHP 7.4
yum --enablerepo=remi-php74 install php-xml php-soap php-xmlrpc php-mbstring php-json php-gd php-mcrypt
For PHP 7.3
yum --enablerepo=remi-php73 install php-xml php-soap php-xmlrpc php-mbstring php-json php-gd php-mcrypt
For PHP 7.2
yum --enablerepo=remi-php72 install php-xml php-soap php-xmlrpc php-mbstring php-json php-gd php-mcrypt
I'm trying to install the yaml extension on Ubuntu.
I have PHP 7.1 on my server.
ubuntu#www1:~$ php -v

I was following another SO post that said to run
sudo apt install libyaml-dev php-dev php-pear
When I do that, the installer says, in part:
The following extra packages will be installed:
dh-php php7.2-cli php7.2-common php7.2-dev php7.2-json php7.2-opcache
php7.2-readline pkg-php-tools xml2
Suggested packages:
dh-make
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dh-php php-dev php7.2-cli php7.2-common php7.2-dev php7.2-json
php7.2-opcache php7.2-readline pkg-php-tools xml2

Need to get 3,073 kB of archives.
After this operation, 18.3 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
So, why would the installer install PHP 7.2 extensions on a PHP 7.1 server?
I aborted the install and came here to ask:
How do I force my server to stay at PHP 7.1 and install the yaml extension?
Have you tried
sudo apt-get install -y php7.1-yaml
I had an outdated version of PHP on my system, so attempted to upgrade from 5.5.9 to 5.6.
I followed the following steps on my Digital Ocean Ubuntu droplet:
I installed Ondřej Surý's PPA and selected 5.6 as well as other packages related to the main one, like the XML package.
When I do php -v on my server, it says
PHP 5.6.29-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 (cli)
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies
This indicated to me that the update went through.
But when I restart my apache server and check the error logs, it says
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.20 configured -- resuming normal operations
I believe the latest version of Magento on my server is giving me this error (HTTP 500) because it is using the wrong version of PHP...
How do I fix this? Thank you.
The digital ocean community site here offered a couple of extra commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5.6 php5.6-mbstring php5.6-mcrypt php5.6-mysql php5.6-xml
sudo a2dismod php5
sudo a2enmod php5.6
sudo service apache2 restart
Note the a2dismod and a2enmod steps. The post says:
Without the a2dismod/a2ensmod steps, Apache will continue to see your older version of PHP, even if command line is seeing the new version.
I have a Vaprobash VagrantFile building a Ubuntu Nginx stack.
In it I specify PHP v5.6:
php_version = "5.6" //Options: 5.5 | 5.6
However, I run
$ vagrant up
when I ssh into the box and do
$ php -v
it shows PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.20 (cli) (built: Oct 3 2016 13:00:37).
Why wasn't 5.6 installed?
I am not sure this repo has been updated for php after the ppa has been migrated (see https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/wiki/PPA-migration-to-ppa:ondrej-php)
basically in scripts/php.sh you need to replace ppa by
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
(make sure to run sudo apt-get update if you're running this command directly from the VM after the initial provisioning) -
and to install php5.6 you need to run
sudo apt-get install -qq libapache2-mod-php5.6
with this change, you now get
vagrant#vaprobash:~$ php -v
PHP 5.6.28-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 (cli)

If you need additional php modules, make sure to replace the installation by specifying 5.6 in your php version such as
sudo apt-get install -qq php5.6-fpm
Whenever I try to run this code
example#testserver:~$ sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug

I get this error "E: Unable to locate package php5-xdebug"
Please help
Thanks
If you're running the default apt installation of PHP on Ubuntu 16.04, then it should be PHP7. If I had to guess from php5-xdebug, then I'd say you were using a command intended for Ubuntu 14.04 or older where the default PHP installation was PHP5. You can verify your PHP version with:
php --version
This is what I see:
PHP 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 (cli) ( NTS )

with Xdebug v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2016, by Derick Rethans
At any rate, you should be able to search available packages for your configuration with:
apt search xdebug
From my relatively fresh Ubuntu 16.04 install without any added PPA's, I get one result:
php-xdebug - Xdebug Module for PHP
So you can install this package by name (note the missing "5" from your command):
sudo apt install php-xdebug
You might also have to restart your webserver. If you're running the stock build of Apache for Ubuntu 16.04:
sudo service apache2 restart
