Hello everyone,

I was just asking this to the community to see if anyone has tried an upgrade of PHP5.3 to PHP 7.1.

I was able to upgrade using the REMI Repository by going from 5.3 to 5.6 and then to 7.1 successfully on a development server.

However, I am wondering if anyone has done this by using Red Hat Repository and if so how did they do it.

I have enabled the rhel-server-rhscl-6-rpms repository.
I am running on RHEL 6.9 Server.

When I do a yum update is doesn't find anything even though PHP 5.3 is installed. php -v shows PHP 5.3.3 is installed.
It shows no packages marked for update.

It seems to be allowing me to run yum install php-70 but not php-71.

Although I am thinking this is not the correct way to do this. Surely I have to update 5.3 to 7.1 to hold all the configurations.

Also where is PHP 7.1 repo - is it not available with RHEL 6.9?

Thank you for any help.
