How to Install PHP 7.4 on CentOS 8
By default PHP that is available on CentOS 8 is version 7.2, while Security Support from PHP 7.2 will soon end its support period on 30 November 2020. In some cases too, PHP applications that want to run on CentOS 8 require the latest version of PHP.
0.Check the PHP Version
Check the version of PHP that is read in the repository cache.

3.Install PHP 7.4
Install PHP 7.4.
1 | dnf install php php-cli php-common |
Test the results of the installation by checking the PHP version.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | php -v PHP 7.4.7 (cli) (built: Jun 9 2020 10:57:17) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.4.7, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies |
4.PHP with Apache
When installing PHP earlier also installed the Apache web server (HTTPD).
Enable and start the Apache service.
1 2 3 | systemctl enable httpd systemctl start httpd systemctl status httpd |
Also check the php-fpm service status, because CentOS 8 no longer uses the Apache module. Install PHP had also already installed PHP-FPM.
1 2 | systemctl enable php-fpm systemctl status php-fpm |
Create info.php file to test Apache whether it can run PHP scripts.
1 2 | cd /var/www/html echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > info.php |
Browse http://SERVER-IP/info.php.
