Upgrading Php 5.6 to 7.2 on Debian 8 Jessie
February 14, 2020
Here’s a great little script which will upgrade your PHP5.6 installation to PHP7.2.
Just copy and paste the code and run the shell script.
I found this script and updated it.
echo "Installing PHP 7.2 On Debian 8 Jessie and Debian 9 Stretch With Composer"
echo "Created by volkansenturk"
echo "Updated by IanArman"
echo "http://bit.ly/2SuD528"
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates -y
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.2 -y
sudo apt-get install php7.2-cli php7.2-common php7.2-curl php7.2-gd php7.2-json php7.2-mbstring php7.2-mysql php7.2-opcache php7.2-readline php7.2-xml -y
sudo apt-get install git -y
cd /tmp
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
a2dismod php5
