A brief analysis of how to upgrade PHP 5.4 to 5.6 in CentOS 7

1. Check the PHP version after entering the terminal

php -v

The output is as follows:

PHP 5.4.35 (cli) (built: Nov 14 2014 07:04:10) Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.4-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2015, by Zend Technologies

2. Execute the following command to upgrade the software warehouse

rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/epel-release.rpm 
rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm

3. Execute the following command to delete php

yum remove php-common

Then it will ask you if you want to continue, just type yes.

4. Install PHP 5.6 (php56w-devel is not required)

yum install -y php56w php56w-opcache php56w-xml php56w-mcrypt php56w-gd php56w-devel php56w-mysql php56w-intl php56w-mbstring

5. Restart httpd

service httpd restart

View the latest version
