In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PHP 7.2 on Ubuntu 16.04. 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. The latest PHP 7.2 release has new and improved features and functions that will allow developers to write better code.
