PHP upgrade from PHP 7.0.4 to PHP 7.0.8 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I have to upgrade PHP version PHP 7.0.4 to PHP 7.0.8 in order to install third party software which only supported on PHP version 7.0.6 or later.

root@A# php -v

I have used this repository and this doesn't have any PHP version 7.0.6 or later

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
