Steps for upgrading to PHP7 on CentOS 6 system. Taken from install-php-7-in-centos-6

To install latest PHP 7, you need to add EPEL and Remi repository to your CentOS 6 system

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

Now install yum-utils, a group of useful tools that enhance yum’s default package management features

yum install yum-utils

In this step, you need to enable Remi repository using yum-config-manager utility, as the default repository for installing PHP.

yum-config-manager --enable remi-php70

If you want to install PHP 7.1 or PHP 7.2 on CentOS 6, just enable it as shown.

yum-config-manager --enable remi-php71 
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72

Then finally install PHP 7 on CentOS 6 with all necessary PHP modules using the following command.

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

Double check the installed version of PHP on your system as follows.

php -V

I managed to install php54w according to Simon s suggestion  but then my sites stopped working perhaps because of an incompatibility with php-mysql or some other module  Even frantically restoring the old situation was not amusing  for anyone in my own situation the sequence is   sudo yum remove php54w sudo yum remove php54w-common sudo yum install php-common sudo yum install php-mysql sudo yum install php   It would be nice if someone submitted the full procedure to update all the php packet  That was my production server and my heart is still rapidly beating

For CentOS 6  PHP 5 3 3 is the latest version of PHP available through the official CentOS package repository  Keep in mind  even though PHP 5 3 3 was released July 22  2010  the official CentOS 6 PHP package was updated November 24  2013  Why  Critical bug fixes are backported  See this question for more information   Why are outdated packages installed by yum on CentOS   specifically PHP 5 1  How to fix    If you d like to use a more recent version of PHP  Les RPM de Remi offers CentOS PHP packages via a repository that you can add to the yum package manager  To add it as a yum repository  follow the site s instructions   Note  Questions of this variety are probably better suited for Server Fault

As Jacob mentioned  the CentOS packages repo appears to only have PHP 5 3 available at the moment   But these commands seemed to work for me     rpm -Uvh http   mirror webtatic com yum el6 latest rpm yum remove php-common         Need to remove this  otherwise it conflicts yum install php56w yum install php56w-mysql yum install php56w-common yum install php56w-pdo yum install php56w-opcache php --version                 Verify version has been upgraded   You can alternatively use php54w or php55w if required   CAUTION  This may potentially break your website if it doesn t fully resolve all your dependencies  so you may need a couple of extra packages in some cases  See here for a list of other PHP 5 6 modules that are available   If you encounter a problem and need to reset back to the default  you can use these commands   sudo yum remove php56w sudo yum remove php56w-common sudo yum install php-common sudo yum install php-mysql sudo yum install php    Thanks Fabrizio Bartolomucci
