PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is an open-source server-side scripting language and is widely used for creating dynamic web pages. PHP is among the most popular languages because it is secure, fast, simple, efficient, flexible, and a loosely typed language.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-38332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/install-php-7.3-ubuntu-16.04.jpg\" alt=\"install php 7.3 ubuntu 16.04\" width=\"162\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/install-php-7.3-ubuntu-16.04.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/install-php-7.3-ubuntu-16.04-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/install-php-7.3-ubuntu-16.04-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/install-php-7.3-ubuntu-16.04-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>PHP can be run on any operating platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS) and almost on any web server (Nginx, Apache).

user with the user you want to use.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once logged in, you can update your Ubuntu OS packages to the latest version using:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt update &amp;&amp; apt upgrade<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you have a new Linux VPS and you are not familiar with the procedure on how to manage your server then you should definitely check our article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/connect-to-your-linux-vps-via-ssh\/\">Connecting via SSH to your server<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-install-a-web-server\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-a-Web-Server\"><\/span>Step 2: Install a Web Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this step, we will install a web server. You can choose between Apache or Nginx because both are fast, secure, and reliable. In this tutorial, we will use Apache which is the most popular among web servers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To install Apache web server, run the following command on your server:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt install apache2<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After installing Apache2, use the command below to start the Apache service:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl start apache2<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Also, you can enable Apache server to always startup when the server boots up:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl enable apache2<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can always check the status of the Apache web service with this command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl status apache2<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can also open your favorite browser and enter your IP address (for example http:\/\/your_server_ip_address), and check whether Apache is running on your server.<br \/>If you see the Apache&#8217;s default welcome page it means that the Apache web server is successfully installed and running.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-install-ond-ej-sur-s-ppa-repository\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this step from our article, we will show you how you can change which version of PHP to be the default if you have multiple versions of PHP installed on your Ubuntu server.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To set PHP 7.0 as the default, run:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">update-alternatives --set php \/usr\/bin\/php7.0<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To set PHP 7.2 as the default, run:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">update-alternatives --set php \/usr\/bin\/php7.2<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To set PHP 7.3 as the default, run:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">update-alternatives --set php \/usr\/bin\/php7.3<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before we can configure Apache to use PHP 7.3, we need to disable the old version of PHP 7.0 by typing:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">a2dismod php7.0<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now enable the newly installed PHP 7.3 version with the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">a2enmod php7.3<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl
