You could use the Damn search... Don't mean to be rude but its rather annoying such a common task being asked so often. The Newbies should really try search and read some existing posts.

Anyways, here are the steps

Code: Select all

echo -e "\ndeb http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie all \ndeb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie all" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get install ca-certificates

wget https://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg
apt-key add dotdeb.gpg

apt-get update -y
apt-get install php7.0 php7.0-xml php7.0-zip php7.0-mysql libapache2-mod-php7.0 -y

a2dismod php5
a2enmod php7.0

systemctl restart  apache2

Sorry, but "Search..." dont't work on this forum.
This is a check step's ? All work?

[mehargags]

It works absolutely fine. Try Searching "php7"
I got these two links from search only, don't have them bookmarked

[maniek015]

Now it is okay, I write php 7 not php7 and maybe that I don't have results of search :)
The method of such changes PHP is safe? Future updates Vista does not overwrite the version of PHP?

[mehargags]

Yes absolutely safe. Vesta Updates/Upgrades have nothing to do with PHP version installed on your server, PHP(x) is updated/upgraded when you yum/apt update your OS.

I use the same method for 10 of my "PHP7 only" servers, however please do check all your applications thoroughly (apache error logs for your domain) to be sure there are no major compatibility problems. Wordpress and other popular & modern php frameworks should have no problems at all but still be sure.
