Debian Linux 9 upgrade from php 7.0 to 7.2

Hello,

I tried upgrading PHP 7.0 to 7.2 on Debian with some issues. Can anybody point me in the correct direction on how to upgrade this correctly?

I had good results to install newer/older PHP versions in addition to the default one using phpbrew. You may switch between default and other PHP's in the Virtual Site settings at Server Configuration > PHP Versions.

This is an example how to install PHP 7.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. Should be working for PHP 7.2 too:

Only once - probably different on newer Ubuntu or Debian:

apt-get install build-essential bison autoconf automake libtool re2c flex autotools-dev \
  libxml2-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libdb5.1-dev libjpeg-dev libXpm-dev libfreetype6-dev \
  libt1-dev libgmp3-dev libldap2-dev libmcrypt-dev libmhash-dev freetds-dev zlib1g-dev \
  libmysqlclient-dev libncurses5-dev libpcre3-dev libsqlite0-dev libaspell-dev libreadline6-dev\
  librecode-dev libxslt1-dev icu-devtools libexpat1-dev libicu-dev libicu52 libjpeg-turbo8-dev \
  libjpeg8-dev libmcrypt4 libpng12-dev m4 zlib1g-dev pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libc-client2007e-dev \
  libmagickwand-dev
ln -s /usr/lib/libc-client.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-client.a

Everytime you install/upgrade:

phpbrew self-update
phpbrew update
rm /opt/phpbrew/distfiles/*
rm -rf /opt/phpbrew/build/*

phpbrew install -j 2 7.1 +bcmath +bz2 +calendar +cgi +ctype +exif +fileinfo +filter +dom +ftp +gd +hash +iconv +imap +intl +ipc +json +mbregex \
  +mbstring +mcrypt +mhash +mysql +openssl +pcntl +pdo +posix +readline +session +soap +sockets +sqlite +xml_all +zip +zlib -- \
  --with-config-file-path=/etc/php71/cgi --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php71/cgi/conf.d --with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock \
  --with-curl --with-gd --with-png-dir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/freetype2 \
  --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-xpm-dir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu  --enable-opcache

rm -f /usr/local/bin/php71*

strip /opt/phpbrew/php/php-7.1.*/bin/php-cgi /opt/phpbrew/php/php-7.1.*/bin/php

# Only when upgrading - list older Versions... 
phpbrew list

phpbrew remove php-7.1.16

service  apache2 reload

I don't know what seems more scary... using non-approved repos on CENTOS or this phpbrew on UBUNTU...

In my production environments I like to use stock OS and stock repos and stock PHP, etc.

I need to support different PHP versions at one machine so this is one way to do it. That way I did not run in any PHP-related problems since years.

I wrote a tutorial for this last month, it was tested on Ubuntu 16.04. But should work on Debian 9 too. here it is, How to Use Multiple PHP Versions With Virtualmin and Nginx

I provide FREE Server Management Services in exchange of money
