Howdy,
Which distro/version is it that you're using there?
We don't generally recommend removing the existing PHP version that comes with your distro, but there are supported ways of installing new/additional PHP versions alongside your existing PHP version.
This should help get you started:

i am using CentOS Linux 7.5.1804, PHP versions 5.6.25, 7.0.31
Okay, perfect... what I'd do is use the instructions above, but just substitute PHP 7.2 when it refers to PHP 7.0, and you should be good to go!
I have 7.0, 7.1,7.2, and 5.6 running on debian server. 7.1 doesnt seem to be working properly but the others are.
I have kept 5.6 because im surprised at how often i am finding programs that still need it.

I tried 7.2 and 7.1 , and found lots didn't work, on Centos 7. Got it installed but a pile of sites did not work or could i get them to work. so i reverted back to 7.0 along with 5.6 as well.
not sure what plans for 7.2 support there will be because i believe ubuntu 18 now thats the version it starts with is 7.2.

what do you recommend ? Thank you
I'm runing on Centos 7 and with PHP 7.2.11 from IUS Repository, I think its managed by Rackspace team, right?
What I did is that step-by-step:
Install IUS repository
rpm -Uvh https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpmRemove PHP default versions
yum remove php* rh-php*Install the new PHP version
yum install php72u-cli php72u-common php72u-fpm php72u-gd php72u-imap php72u-mbstring php72u-mysqlnd php72u-pdo php72u-process php72u-xml php72u-xmlrpc php72u-opcache php72u-json php72u-zip php72u-pspell php72u-pecl-apcu php72u-pecl-memcached php72u-ioncube-loaderPlease note that I installed some extensions that I needed, so you can just install that you need or just copy the extensios that were removed on the previous command and install here.
Then go to you Virtualmin page and Recheck the configurations
Here is the page of repository for all PHP7 extensions:
https://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/CentOS/7/x86_64/repoview/letter_p.group.html
Works. Remember to: sudo systemctl restart php72-php-fpm.service
