CentOS - Apr 2019 - Recommended PHP 7 source for Centos 7

I know there's a couple third party repos offering PHP 7 for Centos. I 
prefer not to add too much third party that I don't have to and PHP 7 
has been mainstream for some time now, I thought maybe it would be in 
EPEL by now.

What is the most recommended and stable way to get an up to date PHP on 
Centos 7?

As far as I know, the only alternative to using a third-party repo's 
prebuilt RPM versions with automatic updates (e.g.: Remi) would be to 
download and compile it yourself from php.net and aggressively update it 
by hand every time a new version is released. Only your organization can 
make the final risk assessment and determine what to do if the official 
Distro PHP version doesn't satisfy.

Good Luck,
Ben

Software Collections is always the way to go for up-to-date mainstream
software.  

   https://www.softwarecollections.org/

Specifically it has PHP 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 for CentOS 7.

I've had the best experience with IUS:

The upstream SCL (Software Collections for Linux)
<https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/> I just looked, and it seems they
have 7.2 with PEAR.

      mark

php 7.0 / 7.1 / 7.2 available in red hat scl:

php72:

yum -y install centos-release-scl
yum -Y install rh-php72

Here are two different solutions, the "official" way of doing things,
and an unofficial solution that also works perfectly.

EPEL tries not replace to core EL packages so someone would have to package
up a php72 which would co-install with the normal packages and would also
supply all the other items without replacement. That takes a lot of work
and instead volunteers have focused on the PHP Software Collections and the
Remi's PHP repositories that others have mentioned.

Second vote for remi. Running 7.2, no issues on EL7. The only config issue 
I've had is getting it to work with php-fpm and apache, but that was almost 
all apache config files.
