PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is an open-source server-side scripting language designed primarily for creating dynamic interactive websites. PHP is one of the most popular languages and it is freely available for redistribution and modifications. PHP can be run on almost any web server ( e.g. Nginx, Apache) and every OS platform (Linux, Mac OS, Windows). PHP 7.2 has been officially released last year and it is available for all RoseHosting clients.\u00a0The latest PHP 7.2 release has new and improved features and functions that will allow developers to write better code.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662de00019ec2\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662de00019ec2\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Requirements\" title=\"Requirements:\">Requirements:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Step-1-Connect-to-your-server-via-SSH-and-update-your-server-OS-packages\" title=\"Step 1: Connect to your server via SSH and update your server OS packages\">Step 1: Connect to your server via SSH and update your server OS packages<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Step-2-Install-a-Web-Server\" title=\"Step 2: Install a Web Server\">Step 2: Install a Web Server<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Step-3-Install-Ondrej-Surys-PPA\" title=\"Step 3: Install\u00a0Ond\u0159ej Sur\u00fd&#8217;s PPA\">Step 3: Install\u00a0Ond\u0159ej Sur\u00fd&#8217;s PPA<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Step-4-Install-PHP-72\" title=\"Step 4: Install PHP 7.2\">Step 4: Install PHP 7.2<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Step-5-Search-and-install-specific-PHP-72-extensions\" title=\"Step 5: Search and install specific PHP 7.2 extensions\">Step 5: Search and install specific PHP 7.2 extensions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Step-7-Install-most-commonly-used-PHP-extensions\" title=\"Step 7: Install most commonly used PHP extensions\">Step 7: Install most commonly used PHP extensions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Step-8-Check-the-PHP-installation\" title=\"Step 8: Check the PHP installation\">Step 8: Check the PHP installation<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Disable-PHP-70\" title=\"Disable PHP 7.0\">Disable PHP 7.0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-16-04\/#Enable-PHP-72\" title=\"Enable PHP 7.2\">Enable PHP 7.2<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements\"><\/span>Requirements:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>For the purposes of this tutorial, we will use an Ubuntu VPS.
