In this tutorial, we are discussing how to install PHP 7.2 in centos why because some of the applications like Magento needs a specific PHP version properly to install the setup or feature.
1. We have to install and enable EPEL and Remi repository to your CentOS 7 in order to install PHP 7.2
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
2. Next, we need to install yum-utils, it is a collection of useful programs for managing yum repositories and packages.
yum install yum-utils

yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72
