INSTALLING PHP 7 & PhpMyAdmin 4.7.6 ON CENTOS 7

INSTALLING PHP 7 ON CENTOS 7

To install PHP 7, you have to install and enable EPEL and Remi repository to your CentOS 7 system with the commands below.   

   

# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

            # yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

 

Next, you need to install yum-utils, a collection of useful programs for managing yum repositories and packages. It has tools that basically extend yum’s default features.

 

            # yum install yum-utils

 

If you want to install PHP 7.1 or PHP 7.2 on CentOS 7, just enable it as shown.

 

# yum-config-manager --enable remi-php71   [Install PHP 7.1]

# yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72   [Install PHP 7.2]

 

Now install PHP 7 with all necessary modules with the command below.

 

# yum install php php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-zip php-fileinfo

 

You can check the PHP version using the below command

 

# php –v
